With the huge variety of runner bean seeds available the option you make now will determine the amount of success you have with regard to your desired outcome. While some growers like to show off their green fingered talents at the hamlet show, others like easy to grow plants and some just like pretty flowers.
While it is true that most, if not all varieties of runner bean are, easy to grow, taste great and frost well, there are some subtle differences that you may like to consider.
Runner
For the hamlet show enthusiast the best variety would be the Enorma runner bean. This is the most thriving exhibition runner bean and has been given the R.H.S. Award of Merit and it is also recommended by the National manufacture of Agricultural Botany. With long slender straight pods of up to 20 inches you will only impress with this bean.
As a industrial grower my livelihood depended on potential and reliability. For this conjecture I all the time chose a bean from suttons called, Best of All. I all the time achieved bumper crops of a good bean that looked and tasted great. I would recommend this variety to anyone who wants to grow runner beans though if you entered it in a show and came up against the Enorma then you probably would not win.
When beans are ready for harvesting they need to picked regularly. This has the effect of the plant producing more young beans and the picking season is prolonged. If you do not pick the beans oftentimes they will grow old on the plant and it will not produce new beans and the harvest duration will be shorter. Unfortunately harvest time coincides with holiday time so if your going to be away while harvest for any length of time you might pick the Streamline variety. It is slightly more forgiving when it comes to harvest time and not picking for a concentrate of weeks will not make as much dissimilarity as other varieties.
If you only have a small area to use for runner beans or want to grow in pots or traditional flower beds then the Hestia is a good variety to use. It is a dwarf variety that would not look out of place in with your flowers or in a pot in the angle of your yard or patio. It is an easy plant to grow because of its good resistance to disease and of policy will brighten up a small corner.
The Scarlet Emperor is probably the best known and most beloved variety of runner bean but if you fancy a change from the fascinating red flowers you could try these. The White Lady and White Apollo are varieties with white flowers and the Celebration variety has beautiful salmon pink flowers. In my understanding the prettiest variety of all is the Painted lady runner bean. It has overwhelming dual coloured red and white flowers and just looks amazing.
There are of policy more varieties of runner bean that you can look at including, Aintree, Red Rum, Butler, Polestar etc. And I wish you good fortune with which ever variety you choose.
