Features

notes
Grown as an annual in UK, the runner bean, (Phaseolus coccineus) Enorma is a tall twining climber reaching 300cm (9ft 10in) high. Its scarlet flowers, beloved by pollinators, transform into long runner beans, which are full of flavour. This is a reliable favourite amongst gardeners with an exhibition standard yield.
