Easy To Grow Varieties

Runner beans are a delicious veg plot staple – they’re one of the easiest crops to grow and produce an abundance of long green pods over several months. Most varieties are climbers, grown up tall canes, producing large harvests in a small area. A few dwarf varieties are also available, ideal for large containers. Pick when young, for tasty stringless beans.

Scarlet Emperor: A reliable variety producing quality pods on vigorous climbing vines.

Enorma: Fine textured beans capable of winning shows. Plant can grow up to 3 metres high. Pick young beans for continuous cropping.

White Emergo: Very similar to Scarlet Emperor but with white flowers and beans instead of red. Very good when picked young and tender.

Streamline: A reliable heavy cropper which has been popular for many years. Long smooth pods packed full of flavour.

Bright red flowers makes it a popular eye catcher in the garden as a plant.
