Phaseolus coccineus 'Painted Lady'

Plant details

Runner bean 'Painted Lady' is an older variety, worth growing as much for its pretty red and white flowers as for its large crops of tender, well-flavoured beans. Its good looks mean that it looks at home in the flower garden as well as the vegetables patch, making it ideal for smaller gardens where space is at a premium.
