About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
Probably the best known runner bean in the German speaking world and a dependable classic for fences and pergolas. All summer long the fiery red flowers glow, busy with bumblebees and honeybees, before the broad, long pods follow. They are best harvested young and tender, when they are wonderfully fleshy. It grows vigorously to two or three metres and needs a sturdy support.
Full bodied and hearty, distinctly stronger than green pole beans, with a pleasant bite.
