Enorma is an apt name for this popular runner bean variety which is highly sought after by kitchen gardeners and village show competitors alike, not least because of the spectacular 30cm + long pods it produces. With attractive red flowers, this organic climbing bean will make a wonderful addition to the garden especially when it engulfs the essential support required. Runner beans are a good source of vitamin C and the 30 seeds contained in each packet should ensure your garden takes on a healthy look during the summer months as well. • 30 seeds per packet • Seeds certified organic by the Soil Association • Will not tolerate frost so plant out late spring/early summer • Raise in rootrainers or deep pots • Support is essential - see below for ideas • Runner beans are notoriously hungry and thirsty - plant over a bean trench and be prepared for regular watering • A deep, fertile, water retentive soil is best • Regular picking will boost pod production • Plant in double rows, allowing 15cm between plants, 60cm between single rows and 1.5m between doubles • Bean leaves and stems will add nitrogen to your soil and compost heap
