Did you know that scarlet runner beans (Phaseolus Coccineus) can produce tuberous roots that are edible? This plant is also a perennial where winters are mild like here in the Pacific Northwest, zone 8b. Scarlet runner has beautiful flowers and attract butterflies and hummingbirds. The flowers, young bean pods and the beans are all edible. The immature pods are the sweetest I’ve ever tasted! Have you grown this before? It makes such a gorgeous ornamental and edible addition to home gardens! #run

😀Ever wondered what the inside of a seed looks like? I soaked the scarlet runner beans in water for three days making it made it easier to cut in half. This would be a fun activity with kids! They can learn the the anatomy of seeds!🌱💚🌱💚🌱Happy Gardening! #seeds #beans #gardening #gardeners #growfood #backyardgarden #vegetablegarden | Learn To Grow
