Planting Information:
Scarlet Runner Pole Beans thrive in sunny locations and can be planted up to 3 months before the first frost. Use a sturdy support structure for optimal growth and plant in a well-prepared, weed-free bed. Seeds and plants thrive when soil temperatures are 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Water seedlings evenly from the bottom to avoid getting foliage wet.
Care and Harvest Information:
Scarlet Runner Pole Bean seeds grow best in soil with a pH between 6 and 7, and light fertilization. Water at ground level to reduce the probability of disease. Pick beans every 2-3 days, when they're 6-8 inches long and before seeds develop, for optimal flavor. When harvesting, hold the plant with one hand and gently pick the bean with the other hand to avoid tearing.
