Pole Bean Scarlet Runner (Phaseolus coccineus) is a centuries-old heirloom classic first documented in the early 1600s, celebrated for its stunning dual-purpose beauty. Producing vigorous, climbing vines that rapidly reach 8 to 12 feet in height, it is adorned with clusters of vibrant, fiery scarlet-red flowers that serve as a major magnet for hummingbirds and bees. Following the spectacular floral display, it yields abundant crops of long, tender green pods that can be harvested young as snap beans, shelled fresh, or allowed to dry for striking, dark purple-and-black mottled dry beans. A garden classic that seamlessly combines high ornamental value with productive culinary yields.

Good to know

Stunning ornamental appeal with continuous clusters of vibrant red flowers that heavily attract hummingbirds and pollinators
Highly versatile culinary crop—enjoy as young snap beans, fresh shell beans, or dried storage beans
Tolerates cooler summer temperatures and damp conditions significantly better than standard common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) varieties

Requires sturdy, tall vertical support structures (trellises, poles, or arbors) to accommodate heavy 10-foot climbing vines
Pods must be harvested small and young (under 6 inches) for snap use, as mature pods quickly become tough and fibrous
