Runner Bean White Lady is an outstanding white-flowered bean producing the most tender, thick, and succulent pods that you will ever taste. The delicious long, mid-green beans of Runner Bean White Lady are stringless with a wonderfully smooth texture.
Runner Bean White Lady produces white flowers that are not so attractive to the birds as the red-flowered varieties, meaning more beans to harvest!
We like to trail up sweet peas with our Runner Bean wigwams and especially like to grow with these white-flowered runners.

Indoor Sowing Information
| Site: | Prefers fertile, rich soil in a sunny sheltered spot. In autumn dig in lots of compost or well-rotted manure, and rake in a general purpose fertiliser 2 weeks before sowing. They are hungry feeders. |
| When to Sow: | April to May |
| How to Sow: | Sow 1-2 seeds into moist compost. Cover with 2.5cm of fine compost. Cover pots with glass or polythene. Firm gently & keep moist. Keep at about 15-20C. Seedlings appear within 7-14 days. |
| Care: | Remove cover when seedlings appear. Harden off plants gradually for a few days in late May. Transplant into the ground spacing plants 25cm apart in rows 30cm apart or plant into large pots or tubs. They will require support as they grow up to 2m high either use canes and/or train over netting. 'Pinch out' the top growth when they have reached the required height and they will start putting all their energy into producing beans. |
| Harvest: | July to October. Pick regularly to maintain further cropping. |
