Scarlet Runner Bean (Pole)

Scarlet Runner Bean must have been the original inspiration for "Jack and the Magic Beanstalk"! Native to the mountains of Mexico and Central America, these runner beans sprint at higher elevations than common beans at 15-20 feet! This plant makes a beautiful backdrop with over 20 showy scarlet-red flowers with 1-inch blooms per vine, attracting pollinators like hummingbirds and bees. Its one-of-a-kind beans are bright pink when freshly harvested and mature to a majestic purple. Then when fully dried, they turn plum-black! The beans themselves are large, meaty, and tender, offering a delicious, nutty flavor that makes them a favorite in a variety of dishes. This vigorous vine can grow up to 10 feet tall, making it perfect for trellises, fences, or arbors, and it thrives in full sun with minimal care. As a versatile and productive plant, Scarlet Runner Bean produces a bountiful harvest of delicious beans in just 75 to 90 days, and the beans can be enjoyed fresh, dried, or even frozen fo
