Scarlet Bean Runner

Latin Phaseolus coccineus

The Scarlet Runner Bean is a beautiful vine that is both pretty and edible. This vigorous vine will easily grow over 10' tall and 3' wide in a single season. This annual bean bears large dark green leaves and highly attractive crimson flowers from summer through to fall. Not only will you love it but hummingbirds and bees will also. The beans on this vine start a nice pinkish colour and slowly shift to a dark violet and finally turns black and speckled. Performs best in full sun and with a trellis or other support to climb. You will not need to attach the vine as it will easily climb a trellis without extra support.

Scarlet Runner Beans are a vigorous grower and can be grown indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost to get a head start or alternatively can be directly sowed into the ground after last frost. Heirloom variety.
