Bean Mascotte

2014 AAS Edible – Vegetable Winner

The first AAS winning bean since 1991, this compact variety is perfect for today’s small-space gardens. Mascotte is a bush type bean that produces long, slender pods that stay above the foliage for easy harvest. This bean also has white showy flowers for ornamental value during bloom time. Judges appreciated the crunchiness and taste of this bean as well as the plentiful harvest all season long.

The Mascotte root system is ideal for patio containers and window boxes, and this versatile variety performs well in garden beds too. That means you can raise delicious beans in any outside space. The French Mascotte (like its English translation “mascot”) is a symbol of good luck and was chosen for the variety’s gardener-friendly habit.

Reviews

  1. AAS Display Garden- River Valley Master Gardeners – 08/15/2018

    Nice bush bean with the majority of the flowers held out on top of the foliage. Easy to pick, good flavor, seeds in the pods are small. This will be my bush bean for next year. Zone 6a

  2. Tim Huffman – 02/25/2017

    Healthy so far!

  3. Tim Huffman – 02/25/2017
