Ideal for smaller spaces or large containers, this compact dwarf cultivated variety produces reliable crops without the need for support. Plants reach around 45cm (18in) tall and form a bushy shape, making them a practical choice for patios or raised beds.
Runner bean 'Hestia' offers attractive red and white bi-coloured flowers in summer, followed by long, straight, stringless pods up to 20cm (8in) in length. The pods are tender and full of flavour when picked young. It has good resistance to common diseases, and the self-supporting habit makes maintenance simple.
Great for gardeners who want to grow runner beans without canes or trellis. Regular picking will help prolong the harvest and keep plants productive.
