Runner Bean Enorma
£1.95 Average 30 seedsAlong with cabbages and cauliflowers, runner beans are an iconic part of the British veg patch; making a wonderful sight with their rampant foliage and scarlet flowers. In contrast with cabbages and cauliflowers, they're a darned sight easier to grow! They're less troubled by pests and mature far more quickly.
Enorma is a particularly heavy cropper, producing lots of long smooth pods from July onwards.
You will need to create a row or teepee of bamboo canes for the plants to wind themselves up. If you don't fancy this, choose our french bean tendergreen which needs no support.
Growing Equipment: Rootrainers for sowing.
