They can grow up to 25cm long! As well as producing flavoursome beans, these also produce beautiful scarlet flowers. Some gardeners grow these just for the flowers!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen to Sow Butler Bean Seeds\u003cbr\u003eApril to June.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhere to Sow\u003cbr\u003eEarly sowings can be made underglass at a temperature of 16°C, sow 3 seeds per 8cm (3in) pot filled with seed sowing compost. Outside sowings can be made from May onwards into the growing site 5cm (2in) deep. Sow 2-3 seeds every 20-30cm (8-12in) apart with rows spaced 60cm (24in) apart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat to do next\u003cbr\u003eSeedlings sown underglass should be gradually hardened off before planting outside in late May to the above spacing, once all risk of frost has past. Place a support cane at each planting station. Alternatively circular plantings can be made with canes joined at the centre to form a wigwam. For optimum crop, place canes 30-45cm (12-18\") apart with 3 beans planted per cane. Water regularly during dry weather.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaturity\u003cbr\u003eJuly to September.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"King's Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48688493166834,"sku":"1023432","price":3.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/4605\/7714\/files\/WebsiteImageTemplate-2026-01-25T144021.915.jpg?v=1769352026","url":"https:\/\/www.zoarsark.co.uk\/products\/kings-seeds-runner-bean-butler","provider":"Zoars Ark Pet Superstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
