Variety traits

Vegetation period — Scarlet runner bean

Phaseolus coccineus L.

The vegetation period of the scarlet runner bean averages 90 days, with ripening potentially starting 85 days after planting.

In the reference 12 varieties crop Runner bean, where this is mentioned in the description.

The duration of the scarlet runner bean's vegetation spans from May to October, with developmental phases including emergence, flowering, and fruit ripening. Unlike other species, cross-pollination involving insects is a critical factor for yield formation during this period.

The duration of the vegetation period is significantly influenced by environmental conditions: sensitivity to frost and high temperatures, which cause flower drop, as well as the requirement for high soil and air humidity. The application of excessive nitrogen fertilizers can delay ripening and extend the vegetation period.
