Alicante

Saturday, 24 October 2009 12:45

This delicious French filet bush bean produces round, straight 5” pods that are a uniform dark green. In addition to its flavor and attractive appearance, Alicante is popular for its extra early crop that delivers a high yield. It resists disease, as well. Sow seeds in late spring. Considered “gourmet”, Alicante beans are usually served whole and fresh, but they of course can be added to pastas and soups, as well. •    Maturity: Approx. 55 days •    Planting season: Late spring to early summer Go to table of bean varieties
