	Runner bean - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The runner bean (Phaseolus coccineus, Fabaceae) is often called the scarlet runner bean since most varieties have red flowers and multicolored seeds, though some have white flowers and white seeds.
		It differs from the common bean in several respects: the cotyledons stay in the ground during germination, and the plant is a perennial with tuberous roots (though it is usually treated as an annual).
		Runner beans are best sliced using a small tool which also removes the sides (the strings) on varieties that have them.

	Bean - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bean is a common name for large plant seeds of several genera of Fabaceae (formerly Leguminosae) used for food or feed.
		Bean originally meant the seed of the broad bean, but was later broadened to include members of the genus Phaseolus such as the common bean or haricot and the runner bean and the related genus Vigna.
		In ancient Greece and Rome, beans were used in voting (a white bean meant yes and a fl bean meant no) and as a food for the dead, such as during the annual Lemuria festival.

		Scarlet Runner Bean (P. coccineus) - The Scarlet Runner Bean or Case Knife Bean resemble the appearance of the pole snap bean, but their leaves are darker green and thicker and they produce pretty scarlet flowers.
		This bean is mostly grown as an ornamental plant, but the young pods are just as good as regular snap beans.
		The French flageolet bean, with its delicate white seeded variety, is an exception and is often raised and dried by home gardeners.

	Chapter 4: Legumes and Some Relatives
		The scarlet runner bean, or runner bean, native to Mexico or Central America (Graham 1941) and of major importance in parts of Europe, is of minor importance in the United States, where it is sometimes called the Oregon lima bean*.
		The roots of the slender, twining scarlet runner bean are tuberous and live for several years, but frost kills the aerial part; therefore, it is an annual plant above the ground, but a perennial beneath (Kooistra 1968).
		Darwin (1889) covered scarlet runner* beans to exclude pollinating insects and obtained only one-eighth and one-third as many beans as were obtained from open plants.

	Runner Bean Questions in The Green Chronicle's Vegetables Section
		If you want to grow beans in a greenhouse, a French climbing bean would probably be better; or you could try lots more moisture-retaining compost under the plants if you do the same with runner beans next year.
		On the plus side you might just find that if you cut the runner bean down to the ground rather than pulling out the roots, and cover it with a thick straw mulch for the winter, it could come back next year - of course you might not want a runner that doesn't produce beans.
		My runner beans this year have been splendid, lots of really healthy vigorous growth and the most flowers we have ever seen.

		This is by far my favorite pole bean - in fact, it is the only one I've grown now for the last several years.
		Although edible as such, I've never eaten the beans as "shell beans", but prefer instead to enjoy the young flat pods - stringed, sliced into 1-2" pieces, & steamed or boiled - as one would a flat Italian/Romano-type string bean, which these strongly resemble.
		I plan to leave about half the yeild on the vines to harvest fully developed beans at the end of the season.
