Reviews

The runner bean 'Prize Winner' is a very high-yielding bean variety that produces very long and fleshy pods. The seeds are beautifully purple and red with black speckles. Particularly noteworthy are the blossoms of the runner beans. Bright racemes that range from tenderly white to fiery red make them true eye candy. Therefore, it can often be found as a visual cover on fences, railings, and balconies.

Growing advice

Sowing depth:	2-3 cm
Planting distance:	75 cm
Bad companion plants:	Lettuce Potatoes Sunflower Spinach
Germination temperature:	5-12°C
When to sow outdoors:	April May

Sow outdoors from the end of April. Beans are often sown in clusters of five to six seeds together in a planting hole, keeping a distance of about 40 cm between clusters. Row spacing approx. 100 cm. The beans mustn't be buried deeper than 2 cm. Seeds of legumes often germinate better if they are pre-soaked in water for a few hours.
Runner beans are climbers and necessarily need a trellis. Suitable are rods or cords that should already be completed and installed before sowing.
Beans are most comfortable at temperatures between 18 and 25 °C. They prefer a sunny, wind-protected location and deep, humus-rich soil. When the plants have grown about 20 cm high, earthing up is highly recommended.
