Scarlet Runner Beans

|
I have wonderful memories of scarlet runner beans growing in my uncle's garden in England. They were vigorous climbers that produced many, many beans. What fun to go there as a child and then to take my children there to pick the beans. I've grown them in my gardens here in Canada but they never seem to be quite the same as his. Hummingbirds love the red flowers so the plant has a double benefit in the garden. |

Plant outdoors after danger of frost has passed and weather has warmed. Cover seeds with 1 inch of fine soil firmed down. Plant in rows or hills about 2 feet apart. Seeds will germinate in 7 to 14 days depending on weather and soil conditions. This is a great annual vine to grow for both the flowers and the beans. They grow well on a trellis, an obelisk, or up bean poles made into a teepee shape. |
