Bean Beurre De Rocquencourt

Beurre De Rocquencourt Wax Beans

Discover the charm of Bean Beurre De Rocquencourt, a productive heirloom bush wax bean named after Rocquencourt, a town in France renowned for its rich farming heritage. Likely descended from wax beans introduced to France from Algeria in the 1840s, this variety has stood the test of time.

The sturdy bush plants begin producing good yields early in the season and continue to perform well across a wide range of climates. Favored by cooks for their exceptional flavor, the pods are a distinctive and appealing bright waxy yellow color. This delightful bean was even recognized as a favorite by the esteemed writer William Woys Weaver in Mother Earth News.

For successful growth, direct sow seeds after the last frost when the soil has warmed. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep and 3-4 inches apart in rows spaced 18-24 inches apart. Bush beans thrive in full sun and prefer well-drained soil. Water regularly, especially during flowering and pod development.

Harvest the tender, bright yellow pods when they reach a good size for fresh use. Enjoy the fine flavor of this classic French wax bean in your favorite dishes.
