A runner bean variety that is sure to please!

Winner of the RHS Award of Garden Merit for being high yielding and early maturing, this variety produces fragrant salmon-pink flowers that will attract hummingbirds and bees throughout the summer.

Harvest 8 to 10 inch long pods when immature for springless green beans, or leave the pods to mature and harvest beautiful, large black beans with purple striations. Flavour is creamy, buttery and delicious!

Vines will grow to a height of 8 to 13 feet, so be sure to provide a vertical support, and it will have plenty of room to grow.
