Scarlet Emperor Runner Bean

Scarlet Emperor Runner BeanScarlet Runner Beans possess an amazing zeal for life. They do one thing and do it well: grow like mad. This does mean that you should be careful where you plant it. But it also means that you're nearly guaranteed a beautiful mass of pretty green leaves, striking red blossoms, and easy to grow food: the beans are edible as young pods but traditionally this is a soup bean. Harvest after the pods have dried. Need a spot that needs summertime screening?

fleshy stems go in first and are quickly softened into succulent and tender slices of green

producing 6-10 cloves per bulb in tightly wrapped pinkish-red skins

Very crisp

Beautiful beech handle and slim shape make this one of the most attractive pruners we've seen

The brushstroke design on the front alludes to the circle of togetherness

A popular flower garden annual

to hospitals and schools in the USA and package design for such companies as Lindt Chocolate

As is often the case

especially when the young leaves and shoots are harvested earlier in the season

so it's perfect for transitioning from summer fare into fall meals

so we are excited to offer this heirloom green savoy this year
