{"product_id":"col-m6p-run-bea-strx1","title":"Runner Bean 'Streamline' (Phaseolus coccineus) – Climbing Scarlet-Flowered Vegetable (12 Plants in 2 x 6-Cell Trays)","description":"\u003cp\u003eRunner bean 'Streamline' is a classic allotment favourite, grown for long, straight, flat pods and bright scarlet flowers that bees love. Ready to grow on, this variety (Phaseolus coccineus) suits a vegetable patch, a raised bed or a large container.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou get 12 plants, growing in 2 plastic 6-cell trays, one plant to a cell. Streamline is a reliable, well-established variety with a long cropping season. Pods are tender and stringless when picked young, around 20cm long, and the more you pick, the more the plant produces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRunner beans are tender and are killed by frost, so keep the plants under cover and harden them off before planting out once the last frost has passed, usually late May to early June in the UK. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with moist, fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. These are climbers and need a sturdy support such as a wigwam of canes, an A frame or netting at least two metres tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater the base of the plants regularly, especially once they are in flower, as dry roots are the usual reason flowers drop without setting pods. Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser once flowering, and pick pods often to keep the plants cropping. Raw pods and beans are harmful if eaten by people or dogs, so always cook them before eating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Runner Bean 'Streamline', Scarlet Runner Bean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Phaseolus coccineus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 200-250cm tall with support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vigorous, climbing, twining annual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vegetable patches, raised beds, allotments, large containers, wigwams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e May to June, with a long season of scarlet flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Scarlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun, sheltered from strong winds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist, fertile, well-drained soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not hardy.
