Runner Bean, Painted Lady Improved

Phaseolus coccineus (aka Bicolor Runner, Painted Runner). Friar Antonio de Arrabida described this species in Flora of Rio de Janeiro in 1827. Incredibly beautiful bi-colored blossoms are very attractive to hummingbird moths. This strain is less affected by warmer temperatures than other runner beans and is a prolific bloomer. Esteemed as both an ornamental and edible climber.

Pole habit, 68 days. ±450 seeds/lb
