The flavor is classic and outstanding: sweet, fresh, and slightly nutty with a satisfying snap that's often considered the benchmark for green beans. These beans excel in recipes like fresh steamed or sautéed sides, three-bean salads, stir-fries, casseroles, pickling, canning, freezing, or simply eaten raw as crudités with dip. This variety is a top recommendation for Utah growers per USU Extension—it's listed among reliable bush beans that perform well in our climate, with good yields in full sun and well-drained soil, and it suits succession planting for extended harvest during the warm season.

The plant is prized for its brilliant scarlet-red flowers that attract hummingbirds and pollinators, creating a stunning ornamental display on tall vines while also yielding beans. The young pods have a fresh, beany flavor that's good boiled, steamed, sautéed, or eaten raw sparingly (best cooked to improve digestibility and reduce any potential toughness); mature dried beans are large, kidney-shaped, black with maroon mottling, and can be cooked like shell beans or stored for soups and stews. The edible flowers add a mild bean-like taste to salads or garnishes. This variety is a good fit for Utah because it's more cold-tolerant than common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), handling our cooler springs and shorter season better with early transplants or direct sowing, it thrives in hot, dry summers with full sun and well-drained soil, and it provides dual-purpose beauty and edibility—often grown successfully by local gardeners for both ornamental appeal and harvest in our variable climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-slate-node=\"element\" data-slate-fragment=\"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\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-node=\"text\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-leaf=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-string=\"true\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeed packets contain 12 seeds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salt City Gardens","offers":[{"title":"3-Pack","offer_id":45133903233133,"sku":"scar-pbean-03","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6-Pack","offer_id":44848893755501,"sku":"scar-pbean-06","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Seed Packet","offer_id":44848893788269,"sku":"scar-pbean-seed","price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/6774\/9997\/files\/ScarletRunnerPole.jpg?v=1773696822"}],"url":"https:\/\/saltcitygardens.com\/collections\/beans.oembed","provider":"Salt City Gardens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
