Description
British bred for high yields and reliability, Runner Bean 'Polestar' has become a gardeners' favourite. The stringless, fleshy pods are produced in clusters of fleshy, flavoursome beans reaching 25cm (10") in length. This variety is early to flower and crops well over a long season. Height: 3m (10'). Spread: 30cm (12").
Companion planting: Try growing runner beans with sweet peas to attract pollinating insects to the flowers, and nasturtiums to draw aphids away from your crop.
