Superb long, slim, fleshy completely stringless 12 inch pods with a very slow seed development resulting in heavy crops of tender delicious dark green pods over a long season.

Sowing Instructions

Sowing time:After last frost so that pods will mature in the cooler weather of late summer to early fall

Prefers to be grown in fertile, moist yet well drained soil which has had plenty of well rotted compost dug into it the previous autumn. To ensure pods mature in cool weather, sow in midsummer to mature in fall, sow directly into the garden when there is no risk of frost 5cm (2in) deep, 2 seeds every 30cm (12in) in rows 38cm (15in) apart.

Growing Instructions

Remove weaker seedlings after germination. Make sure your soil is warm and avoid it becoming baked hard. Provide poles, trellis or mesh for them to climb. Water regularly and liquid feed every 14 days as the beans form. A thick mulch will help conserve moisture. Flowers require pollination to set pods.

Aftercare Instructions

Pick the beans regularly a little on the young side to ensure top quality and prolonged cropping. Unlike snap or pole beans, runner bean flowers require pollination.

Caution

Please note that beans must be cooked before eating to avoid discomfort.
