BEAN, SCARLET EMPEROR - RUNNER BEAN

Phaseolus coccineus

Scarlet Emperor is a 2m tall vine that produces
very straight long pods with 6 large seeds. They are
the sweetest variety of runner bean and consistently
produce vines well over 2m. The flowers are a very
attractive scarlet colour. This is a perrenial variety
of bean. Eat them pods and all when picked young
or save the seeds alone for winter stews.
Direct sow seeds 15-20cm apart in rows
that are 45cm apart or prefferably against a wall.
Gently push the seed into the soil, cover lightly and
water. Poor germination generally reflects over
watering and rotting of seed. Beans are
a nitrogen fixing crop. Sow in Spring to
Summer in a well drained, full sun
position. Make sure soil is not too acidic.
