Bean, Shinshu Runner (Phaseolus coccineus), packet of 3 seeds, organic
$2.95
Family: Legume (Fabaceae)
In Zones 7 to 12, a tuberous-rooted perennial vine. Grown as an annual in zones 6 and under–90 days to maturity.
Originating in Japan, these will climb to make a large bush to 12 feet tall (with trellis), very green from spring to frost, dotted with intense red flowers, remaining bushy and vital long past the time that standard pole beans have started to look scraggly. Edible as a green bean or soup bean. Shinshu runner makes a cosmic-patterned purple and pink seed, which is to my knowledge the largest among all Phaseolus. Cultivation: Very, very fun and a good activity for kids. Germination like a small earthquake. Direct seed in a richly composted hill in the early spring. For seed production get an early start, sowing just before the last frost of spring. Provide trellis or grow on the corn. Will run on the ground if not trellised, but for ease of picking, and a good, dry pod in the end, trellis.
3 seeds/pkt., Certified Organically Grown

These are simply AMAZING!
i’d seen the photo, i’d read the description, yet somehow it was still shocking to see them in person! They are startlingly large, haha! And their blossoms are a gorgeous vibrant red, a gorgeous addition to any home garden!!
i completely 100% recommend these!

Hi will these be available for 2022? I saw your post about these a month or 2 ago and have been thinking about them ever since. I really want to try them this year.

Hi Tracey, These sold out almost immediately and they are the main type we’ll be growing in 2022. It is possible that you could find them through another vendor. Meanwhile, yes, hit “waitlist,” Richo

How do these compare to scarlet runner? It would be cool to see them side by side. Any notes on taste and texture? Thanks for sharing such cool beans!
