Scarlet Runner has been documented as growing in gardens as early as the 1750’s! Reaching 3 m or more in height, these densely leaved, vigorously growing plants are used as ornamental climbers due to the abundance of flowers they produce. Flowers are usually brilliant scarlet red. As these are ancient heirloom beans, the genetics are not as stable as modern varieties. Occasionally you may find the flowers are white, orange or a mixture. The broad, oval, string-less pods are delicious when harvested and cooked young. Pick mature pods to ensure continuous production of the beautiful flowers. The flowers are also a sure-fire hummingbird attractant!
