An RHS AGM, British bred variety that produces high yields of long, pale green pods, joined by pretty red and white blooms in the summer months. Runner Bean 'St George' grows 30cm (12") long pods which are of excellent quality. They can be harvested regularly in late summer and early autumn for a continuous summer supply of delicious runner beans. Sow runner bean seed indoors from mid April for transplanting later on, or direct sow outdoors from late May to July. Indoors, sow seed at a depth of 5cm (2") in 7.5cm (3") pots or trays of free-draining, seed sowing compost. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a plastic bag at a temperature of 18-20C (64-68F) until germination which takes 7-10 days. Once germinated, grow runner beans on in cooler conditions until all risk of frost has passed and runner bean plants are large enough to be transplanted. Gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 - 10 days before planting runner beans outdoors in rich fertile, well draine
