Dwarf Bean - Delinel - Sweet pods, heavy harvest - Fresh Seeds

Dwarf Bean Delinel is a popular French bean variety that is early and very productive. It produces long, tender green pods with a mild flavour and no stringy fibres, making them ideal for cooking, stewing, freezing, or preserving. Thanks to its good resistance to diseases and less favourable weather, it provides steady, reliable harvests over a long period.

Sowing depth

Sow Delinel seeds 2 to 3 cm deep. This depth supports even germination, strong plant growth, and a well developed root system that copes better with short dry spells. After sowing, gently firm the soil to improve contact between the seeds and the growing medium.

Outdoor sowing time

The best time to sow Delinel outdoors is May and June, when the soil is warm and the risk of frost is minimal. To extend the picking season and enjoy fresh pods throughout summer, sow in batches every 10 to 14 days. This helps maintain a consistent crop and provides regular harvests through to the end of the season.

Spacing

Sow in rows spaced 30 to 40 cm apart, leaving about 10 cm between plants. This spacing gives plants room to develop, improves air flow, and makes watering and harvesting easier. As a result, plants stay strong and healthy and produce evenly.

Harvest time

Delinel can be harvested from July through to September. Pick the pods while they are young, firm, and a deep green, as this is when they taste best and offer the highest nutritional value. Regular picking encourages continued flowering and the formation of new pods, so you can enjoy fresh harvests for many weeks.

Growing

Dwarf Bean Delinel grows best in warm, sunny positions sheltered from strong winds. It needs fertile, free draining soil that is rich in humus and kept moderately moist. It is a good idea to change the growing area each year and avoid planting after other legumes. Regular watering during flowering and pod formation supports heavier yields. This variety is resistant to most common bean diseases and performs well in changeable weather.
