Phaseolus Coccineus – 30 Seeds.       

Our runner bean ‘White Emergo’ is a high yielding, white seeded runner bean which also does well in poor weather. It is often grown as a substitute for butter beans!

It has beautiful white flowers and has a reputation for suffering less bird damage.

Sow the seeds in pots or large modules under cover in spring and plant out after the risk of frost has passed. Alternatively you can direct sow the seeds after the last frosts. The plants will need supports to climb. Harvest before the beans swell inside the pods if harvesting as runner beans and pick regularly to encourage production. Allow the pods to swell and dry if harvesting to use as butter beans!
