& Runner Bean Hestia 1 Seed Packet

A dwarf variety that grows to only 45cm tall, making it perfect for smaller gardens and growing in containers. Runner Bean 'Hestia' produces high yields of smaller, stringless runner beans that have a delicious flavour. These crops can be harvested from July to September, joined by small, pretty flowers from June to August. They can be grown with sweet peas to entice pollinators or with Nasturtiums to keep aphids away from the vegetable. Sow runner bean seed indoors from mid April for transplanting later on, or direct sow outdoors from late May to July. When growing runner beans provide a thick mulch of organic matter around the base of the plants to help conserve moisture and reduce weed growth. Water runner beans regularly, particularly as the flowers develop, and provide a liquid feed every 14 days during mid-summer. Pinch out the tips of the beans when they reach the top of their supports. Beans can be harvested from July onwards. Pick the beans regularly and a little on the young side to ensure top quality and prolonged cropping. Culinary note: Suitable for freezing.
