Painted Lady Improved Runner Bean
25 Seeds
(Phaseolus coccineus) Stunning, bi-colored runner bean dating back to the 1800's. Climbing plants produce profusions of pink and white flowers followed by large, flat, green pods. A beautiful variety to grow as an ornamental, plus the beans can be used similarly to any common bean. Suitable for canning, freezing or as a dry bean. 65-85 days to harvest. 25 seeds per packet.
CULTURE: After danger of frost has passed, sow seeds 4-6" apart, 1" deep in rows 24-36" apart. Plants require trellising. Under ideal conditions, germination will occur in 7-10 days. For highest yield, harvest regularly. Avoid touching plants while leaves are wet as this can spread disease.
