Our first red flowered runner bean variety produced as a result of our innovative cross between a runner bean and a French bean, Firestorm easily sets huge quantities of top quality 25cm pods.
This climbing or pole Helda bean has flat pods. It shows significantly higher yields in trials than all other commercial varieties. It has improved pod quality and tolerance to wind damage. It produces smooth, stringless pods 20 to 25cm in length. Sow in Feb to crop under glass and sow April to May outside, producing heavy crops July to Sept.
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.
