How to Grow:
Scarlet Runner Beans are easy to grow. Grow Scarlet Runner
Bean in full sun. Plants prefer a rich, soil. Adding compost
prior to planting, will help them to grow quickly to their full
potential.
Scarlet Runner Beans require something to climb. Plant them
along a fence or trellis. Trellises are a great way to display
this attractive, flowering ornamental. After the blooming period,
the beans will be accessible to harvest right from the trellis. In
the vegetable garden, fences and bamboo poles are most often
used.
Add ample amounts of water and fertilizer. The plants need
both, to reach maximum growth. Just before the blooming period,
apply a fertilizer high in phosphorous, to promote blooms.
Weed around the plants, especially while bean plants
are young. Once they begin to climb, weeds will not block
valuable sunlight. But, they will continue to compete
for moisture and nutrients. A heavy layer of mulch
around the plants will look good, and keep weeds
down.
All bean plants are annuals that are very susceptible to
frost. Cover them up whenever cold temperatures are
expected.
