Recommended Varieties of Runner Beans
The following runner beans are recommended by GardenAction.

Name	Height	Comment
Butler	1.8m (6ft)	Stringless, fleshy pods, OK for freezing, NIAB approved
Painted Lady	1.8m (6ft)	Good crop, striking two-tone red and white flowers.
Pickwick Runner Bean	30cm (1 ft)	Dwarf self supporting variety - the easiest to grow. If you click the picture to enlarge it, you will see we have given them minimal support from old raspberry canes. But even without this they will still support themselves well. Why go to all the trouble of tall growing runner beans when you can have a huge tasty crop from these?
