Runner Beans

Runner Beans

Year round availability in supermarkets is quite an achievement for a vegetable almost unique to Britain and originally from the mountains of the American tropics. Our effort in runner bean breeding continues and we strive to produce new varieties which will perform wherever in the world they are grown. We have several new catalogue introductions.
