Description
The 'Soliman' Bean is an improvement of the dwarf French bean 'Talisman'. It is a dwarf variety of the mangetout type renowned for its productivity and the quality of its beans. It produces extra-fine beans with long pods of 16 to 18 cm, without strings, fleshy and crunchy, containing variegated brown grains. The plant is easy to grow and does not require staking. Sow from April to July to start harvesting 55 to 60 days later. The 'Soliman' Bean is very versatile in the kitchen: you can enjoy it fresh or easily preserve it in jars or frozen.

Planting and care
Soil preparation: Beans like light, moist, but not wet soils rich in nutrients. They do not like soils that are too chalky or too acidic. It is therefore necessary to prepare the soil well by digging it deeply to 20 cm without turning it over. Then it should be amended with compost or well-decomposed manure. Do not sow beans on soil that has been recently limed, as this causes hardening and loss of the pod's taste.
Sowing under cloches: Under cloches or tunnels, beans can be sown as early as mid-March. Beans are sensitive vegetables, requiring the soil to have reached a minimum of 15°C. Cloches should be oriented south or west. Only ventilate them during the warm hours of the day. Remove the protection only when frost is no longer a concern.
Sowing in open ground: Sow from April in southern regions or from May as soon as the soil is sufficiently warm and frost is no longer a concern. Dig furrows 3 to 4 cm deep spaced 40 cm apart. Sow your seeds 5 to 7 cm apart or in clusters of 4 to 5 seeds spaced 40 cm apart in all directions. Cover the soil and lightly tamp down with a rake. When the plants reach a height of 20 cm, earth them up to ensure good support.
The first harvests take place around 60 days after sowing and continue until late October. Sow beans every 15 days for a continuous harvest until the end of autumn.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
