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
