PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Scarlet Emperor is a classic and widely loved runner bean variety, known for its vibrant red flowers and long, tender green pods. It is both highly productive and visually striking, making it an excellent choice for edible gardens where beauty and yield go hand in hand. The pods are flavourful and ideal for fresh use or cooking.
This vigorous climber requires strong support such as trellises, stakes or pergolas. Grow in a sunny, sheltered location with humus-rich, well-drained soil.
