Phaseolus coccineus 'Desiree'

Plant details

Desiree' yields huge crops of runner beans from a small area, often averaging 40 large pods per plant. It is completely stringless. As it is a shy seeder, there is more juicy, fleshy, edible bean, which accounts for the exceptional flavour. Compared with other runner beans, it is much more productive under dry weather conditions. This is a white-flowered variety with good disease tolerance. The Royal Horticultural Society have given it their prestigious Award of Garden Merit.
