Beans Climbing 'Scarlett Runner' Heirloom Seeds

A prolific early spring grower and heavy cropper, scarlett runner beans produce clusters of bright red flowers that form into purple podded beans, that amongst heirloom varieties are considered in a league of their own. In order to accommodate the plant's growth they should be trained up a sizeable trellis.

When to plant:

Zone 1: october - december

Soil: beans fix your soil with nitrogen that they naturally produce, so a moderately fertile, free-draining soil is required. Ensuring ph is within the recommended range.  Soil ph level  6.5-7.0 

Position: full sun, preferably in an area of your patch that allows them to be trained vertically and therefore conserve space.
