About
Beautiful red blossoms on with vigorous vines are a good reason to try Scarlet Runner. But that is not all this plant has to offer. It produces edible beans! Beauty and taste at its best. Pick beans when young and tender. An easy-to-grow plant that you will not regret owning! Hummingbirds love them too.
