Dwarf French Bean Baccara - Phaseolus Vulgaris. The “Chinese” variety of Dwarf French Bean produces uniform, straight beans. They are fine and fleshy, fairly short (approx. 12 cm long) and have a somewhat stronger bean flavour. For an early harvest sow in a greenhouse or pre-sow in pots. Beans thrive in the warmth. Too much wind and particularly night frost can be very harmful. Sow or transplant after mid-May in the garden. Row distance approx. 40 cm with a bean every 10 cm. It is a bush bean, so support is not necessary. Sluis Garden seeds.
