First introduced in 1968, this stringless bean has become a staple for home gardeners because it combines the rich, old-fashioned flavor of an heirloom with the refined, slender shape preferred by professional chefs. The dark green, 5-inch pods are remarkably straight and maintain a crisp, tender texture without becoming fibrous or tough. These compact, upright plants are heavy producers and feature excellent disease resistance, performing best in full sun and warm soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeed Count:\u003c\/b\u003e 30 beans\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardiness Zone:\u003c\/b\u003e 3–10\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSow seed:\u003c\/b\u003e Sow directly in a sunny location after the danger of frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDirect sow or start indoors:\u003c\/b\u003e Direct sow recommended (beans do not transplant well).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaturity:\u003c\/b\u003e 53–55 days\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeed Depth:\u003c\/b\u003e 1 inch\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlant Spacing:\u003c\/b\u003e 2–4 inches (thin to 4–6 inches)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFull Sun\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAverage watering needs:\u003c\/b\u003e (keep soil consistently moist, well-drained)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bear Mountain Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46450959548473,"sku":null,"price":2.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0819\/4182\/3545\/files\/Bean_-_Slenderette_Green_Bean_Bush.webp?v=1788657094","url":"https:\/\/bearmountainseeds.com\/products\/bean-slenderette-green-bean-bush","provider":"Bear Mountain Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
