Great green bean for feeding the hummingbirds and yourself. A harder bean that when picked young is grate steamed with a little garlic and Parmesan cheese. Leaving the bean to mature is a good dried bean for soups. This bean is a regular in my garden and I save the seed from year to year.

There are several varieties of this heirloom bean. Painted Lady, Sunset Runner, Princess Di as well as Scarlet Runner are a few.

I like this opinion
