Beans Runner

A firm favourite that is well suited to our summers. When you pick runner beans regularly they crop over a long period of time. We are selling you enough seeds for 2 or 3 wigwams and if you want to grow more than that then why not try a second variety to compare flavours? We like to pick our beans when they are young but our stringless varieties will continue to give you nice beans even if you leave them on the plant for longer than intended.
