Scarlet Runner is one of the most beautiful pole beans a gardener can grow, a vigorous climbing vine with stunning clusters of scarlet-red flowers. Reaching 8 to 10 feet on trellises or fences, it attracts bees and hummingbirds while producing long, tender 8-inch pods. Enjoy it as young snap pods, shelled beans, or striking black-and-red speckled dry beans.
