Bring dual-purpose beauty and rich harvests to your garden with Scarlet Nectar Flat Runner Bean! Equally at home in the cutting garden, ornamental landscape, or vegetable plot, this valuable heirloom-style climber bridges the gap between eye-popping flower power and delicious kitchen yields. Scarlet Nectar puts on a spectacular display with large, vibrant red-orange blossoms that act as natural magnets for hummingbirds, bees, and beneficial pollinators—and look stunning in fresh floral bouquets. Following the blooms, it sets large, surprisingly juicy flat pods that offer fantastic flavor when harvested young. If allowed to mature on the vine, the dried beans reveal a striking purple-and-black calico pattern that makes a gorgeous addition to dry bean displays and winter soups.
