WEIGH STATION Bean Seeds - Pole - Runner - Painted Lady
One of the oldest and most beautiful runner beans in cultivation, Painted Lady is as ornamental as it is productive. Vigorous vines climb 8–10 feet and burst into brilliant two-toned blossoms of scarlet and white, drawing hummingbirds and pollinators in abundance. The long, slightly curved pods average 7–8 inches and are filled with plump, speckled beans of pink and buff hues.
The young pods are tender and flavorful as snap beans, while the mature seeds cook to a creamy texture with a rich, nutty taste—excellent for soups, stews, and traditional English-style baked beans. The plants thrive in cooler conditions where many other beans falter, making them especially suited to temperate regions.
First recorded in the 1700s, Painted Lady has remained a garden favorite for over two centuries—beloved for its beauty, flavor, and ability to feed both people and pollinators alike. It’s a true heirloom classic that bridges the worlds of food and floral splendor.
