Growing Information

Growing Painted Lady Heirloom Runner Bean

‘Painted Lady’ is a vigorous heirloom runner bean prized for its edible harvest, striking scarlet-and-white flowers, and ornamental appeal. The colorful blooms attract hummingbirds and butterflies, while the young pods are thick, meaty, and pleasantly sweet. Mature seeds can also be shelled for cooking or dried for later use, making this a versatile choice for both edible and decorative gardens.

Sow ‘Painted Lady’ directly in the garden about 1 inch deep after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Space plants 2 to 3 inches apart and grow in full sun. Plants typically reach 2 to 3 feet tall and benefit from a trellis, fence, or other sturdy support.

Ready to harvest in about 85 days, begin picking the 5½-inch pods while they are still young and tender for the best texture and flavor. Allow the seeds to develop further for fresh shell beans, or leave the pods on the vines until fully mature and dry for storage.

Sweet, meaty, and versatile, ‘Painted Lady’ is excellent for fresh cooking, shelling, drying, and growing in pollinator-friendly edible gardens.
