These showy and ornamental and edible pole-type beans carry masses of bright scarlet flowers in slender clusters over a long summer and fall season. Hummingbirds love them! The flowers are followed by dark green, flattened pods that are quite tasty when young. Older pods can be shelled and the seeds prepared like green limas.

In hot climates they will bloom quite nicely in the late summer and fall. Runner Beans are terrific for providing quick shade on porches or for covering arbors, fences or out buildings.
