‘Mascotte’ bean is a Vegetable Award Winner and the first AAS winning bean since 1991. This compact variety is perfect for small-space gardens. ‘Mascotte’ is a bush type bean that produces long, slender pods that stay above the foliage for easy harvest. It also has white showy flowers for ornamental value during bloom time. The ‘Mascotte’ root system is ideal for patio containers and window boxes as well as in garden beds.
The French ‘Mascotte’ (like its English translation “mascot”) is a symbol of good luck and was chosen for the variety’s gardener-friendly habit.
