Scarlet Runner Pole Bean Seeds
About- (Native American Heirloom) This double purpose plant produces beautiful bright scarlet blooms, as well as an 8 inch long, edible, green podded pole bean. Enjoy them when pods are small green snap beans, as shelled beans when pods are more mature or as dried beans when fully mature. Hummingbirds love the nectar rich scarlet blooms.
When and Where to Plant- Select a sunny location and plant in spring when the soil temperature is above 60 degrees and up to 3 months before first frost. Grow pole beans on stout poles, a trellis, mesh fence or other vertical support to allow them to climb. For best results plant seeds in a well prepared, weed free bed.
Care and Harvest- Grows best in a soil with a pH between 6 and 7, and light fertilization. Do not over fertilize as this will cause an overgrowth of foliage and not allow pods to form. Water at ground level to reduce the probability of disease. Pick beans every 2-3 days, when pods are 6-8 inches long and before seeds develop and the sides bulge. Hold the stem with one hand and pick with the other hand to avoid tearing the plant.
