Self-Pollinating Runner Bean Seed Collection brings together two British-bred favourites chosen for reliable setting and generous crops. Moonlight produces succulent, stringless beans beneath white flowers, while red-flowered Firestorm gives masses of tender, flavoursome pods. Both varieties have been bred to set more reliably when traditional runner beans can struggle in hot, dry or cooler conditions, helping you enjoy plenty of freshly picked beans for the kitchen. Contains 1 packet each of Moonlight (50 seeds) and Firestorm (50 seeds).
