Runner Bean Moonlight AGM Seeds

Runner bean Moonlight seeds grow in a similar manner to other runner bean varieties, and are a great variety for vertical gardening.

Sow them in a sunny spot that has had well-rotted manure dug in prior to sowing. They will need a support to climb up as they grow; we recommend inwardly sloping 2.4m (8ft) bamboo canes. Water well, feed with liquid fertiliser once every fortnight, and mulch with organic matter. Harvest your beans when tender and young at 15-20cm (6-8in).

Runner bean Moonlight is one of the first partially self-sowing varieties. As a result, they will crop better when weather conditions are unfavourable or for early and late sowings if pollinators aren’t common at the time.

Runner bean Moonlight pods remain stringless for a long period, with these plants producing smooth, long pods that can reach up to 25cm (10in) in length.
