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.

Our own reselected and improved stock of this universally grown, white flowered variety. The pods are 24 to 28cm in length, smoother and better quality than other selections on the market. It performs and yields very well under higher temperatures, making it a good variety to grow in Africa and in the ever increasing temperatures of the British summer. Particularly good on heavier land, where other varieties struggle.
This variety is not available for online purchase; we hope to expand our range soon.
