Scarlet Emperor Runner Bean Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds offer a stunning heirloom variety prized for both ornamental beauty and generous food production. Known botanically as Phaseolus coccineus, these vigorous vines create a dramatic vertical display, reaching up to 10 feet and producing clusters of brilliant scarlet-red flowers. As the blooms fade, they give way to an abundant harvest of tender pods that can be enjoyed fresh as snap beans, shelled when mature, or dried for long-term storage. Perfect for fences, poles, arbors, or trellis tunnels, Scarlet Emperor brings color, productivity, and pollinator activity to any garden.
Prolific, Fast-Growing Runner Beans:
This easy-to-grow runner bean is well suited for both beginners and experienced gardeners. The vines establish quickly and are capable of producing heavy yields throughout the season when provided with sturdy vertical support. Pods can be harvested young for their tender snap-bean texture or allowed to mature for shelling and drying. Their versatility makes Scarlet Emperor a valuable staple for both fresh eating and pantry storage.
Striking Ornamental Appeal:
Scarlet Emperor Runner Beans shine as a dual-purpose plant. Their vivid scarlet flowers attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, enhancing pollination throughout the garden. These dramatic blooms make the vines ideal for decorative plantings, edible landscapes, and any area where beauty and productivity are equally valued. The resulting beans are nutritious, flavorful, and suitable for a wide range of meals.
Why Customers Love Scarlet Emperor Runner Beans:

How to Grow:
Sow seeds outdoors after the last frost when soil has warmed. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil and provide a strong trellis, fence, or poles for vines to climb. Water consistently during early growth and flowering. Harvest pods young for snap beans, or allow pods to mature fully for shelling or drying. Frequent picking encourages continued production.
