Good grower, but succumbed to Deep South summer very early. Planted in early April, had to pull out by late May. Tastes like any of a hundred other bush green beans, though I did like the long straight thin pods. Kept its color well in cooking.

This is the best haricot vert I have grown in this area. This variety grew perfectly round, very thin green beans that were very good. I wish I had saved some seed. I will definitely grow it again.

This is the second year I've planted this bean. I would recommend it to anyone. On the dinner plate, they look as if you were dining at a gourmet restaurant. My family and I could eat them by the bowl. No leftovers! Very prolific, too.
