VEGETABLES / RUNNER-BEAN
Edible at all stages. Korean, but best of my runner beans for hot dry weather. 110+ days to ripe and may all mature by frost/ In 2021 and 2022 set seed later, with many unripe. Huge (1" x 5/8") flattened light greyish purple seeswith black streaks. In 2014 germinated practically underwater then survived 2 months drought and 2 months wet. In 2015 also germinated during a flood then tolerated a cold dry summer to bear heavily. Dry pods 3/4 x 6", slightly curved, streaked (purplish when unripe). A winner in hot dry summer of 2018 and recommended for the south. I will send 10 or 15 2021-2022 seeds. . 83% 4-year germination. 100% 2-year. The local (territorial) hummingbird would check out the red flowers every evening around 7.
