Runner Bean 'Black Knight'

  • Loved by Pollinators
The rich crimson, tender and tasty beans are as handsome as they are delicious, so this is our go-to runner for growing and eating all Summer and Autumn. The flowers are tasty too, so harvest them for salads and risottos.

The rich crimson, tender and tasty beans are as handsome as they are delicious, so this is our go-to runner for growing and eating all Summer and Autumn

The flowers are tasty too, so harvest them for salads and risottos to add to decorate, not cook, right at the end. They taste delicious and by eating them, you decrease the sometimes overwhelming runner harvest.

Sow from April, one seed to its own pot or module (ideally Rootrainers), under cover. Once the plants are at least 5cm (2in) tall, plant them out. You can also sow direct into the garden May-July, not before, as they will be killed by the frost.

Care Tips

Will grow best in a sunny position with fertile, well-dug soil that has had plenty of organic matter added. Support with a cane wigwam, with one plant growing up each cane. Protect seedlings from slugs.
