Product Information
Full details
This white flowered runner bean has everything to recommend it. The flowers set readily whatever the weather, and are less attractive to birds than scarlet types. The long, smooth, stingless pods are therefore produced in abundance. Unwins Runner Bean White Lady Seeds produce long stringless pods, able to be sown indoors or outdoors. This high yielding veg is less attractive to birds than the scarlet type, however it is loved by pollinators.Stringless pods, high yielding. Sow: April to June, harvest: July to September. Sow indoors for an earlier crop, sow individual seeds in 8 cm pots of potting compost. Keep the pots on a sunny windowsill, in a propagator, or in a greenhouse at a minimum temperature of 12°C. Keep the compost moist but not waterlogged. Acclimatize young plants to outdoor conditions gradually over 2–3 weeks before planting out from late May onwards, after frost risk has passed. Provide support with canes, placed in situ and tied together before sowing. Canes may be arranged in double rows, sloping inwards, 15 cm apart, or in a 'wigwam' structure. Alternatively, use a container at least 75 cm in diameter. Plants will climb and twine naturally. Sow direct, 5 cm deep, in the desired harvest position next to a cane support or in a large container once frost risk has passed. Runner beans require plenty of water for a good crop. Water generously in dry spells. When plants are in full flower, an occasional mid-day spray with a fine hose encourages flower set and bean production. They are generally disease-free and thrive in sunny, sheltered positions. Soil should be well-manured before planting. Runner bean seeds are sensitive to cold, wet soils and will not germinate in poor conditions. Pick pods young for best flavour. Surplus crops can be frozen: slice and blanch for 2 minutes, drain, cool, and bag for freezing.
