Runner Bean Firestorm

Catalogue Code 1030-3186

World’s First Self-Pollinating Red Flowered Runner Bean!

In 2009, Marshalls introduced runner bean Moonlight, the self-pollinating runner bean. It is already our top selling runner – a truly outstanding bean.

Now, we’ve gone one better with the introduction of Firestorm – so called because of its brilliant red flowers and the fact that this new variety is set to change everybody’s opinion of the best red-flowered runner bean.

Firestorm is easy to grow and produces masses of flowers, which set well even in poor weather or high temperatures. The beans are stringless and when picked young they have all the beauty of a classic runner with a more succulent texture closer to French beans.
