A prolific early spring grower and heavy cropper, Scarlett Runner beans produce clusters of bright red flowers that form into purple podded beans, that amongst heirloom varieties are considered in a league of their own. In order to accommodate the plant's growth they should be trained up a sizeable trellis.

When to Plant

Soil Beans fix your soil with nitrogen that they naturally produce, so a moderately fertile, free-draining soil is required. Ensuring pH is within the recommended range.

Soil pH Level 6.5-7.0

Position Full sun, preferably in an area of your patch that allows them to be trained vertically and therefore conserve space. Plant where you expect to put your brassicas the following season.

How to Plant Sow directly to the patch at a depth 2-3 times the diameter of the seed. Give a thorough soaking after sowing and then avoid over watering before germination as bean seed has the propensity to rot.

Spacing 15-20cm

Depth 2-3cm

Companion Plants Sweet Corn, Marigold

Soil Prepare a well dug through, friable soil type that is free draining. Use well rotted organic matter and manure when preparing the beds.
Soil pH Level 6.5-7.5
Position Full sun preferred, but will tolerate partial shade. Best to follow a crop of nitrogen hungry leafy greens.
How to Plant Sow directly into the patch by creating shallow trenches and then sprinkling the seeds along the trench line. Thin out once germinated.

Soil pH Level 5.5“7.5

How to Plant Use a free draining soil well integrated with compost or good quality potting mix when growing in pots. Propagate in a mini greenhouse when it is too hot or cold, and then transplant once conditions become more suitable. Prone to bolting to seed, make sure to keep well hydrated and out of the direct, hot sun.

Soil pH Level 6.5
