FREE: Heirloom Scarlet Emperor Beans (AKA Runner Beans)

The listing, Heirloom Scarlet Emperor Beans (AKA Runner Beans) has ended.

This auction is for 7 scarlet emperor beans.

Scarlet Emperor sets fat, slightly fuzzy pods filled with a richer, more savory flavor than snap beans. Though the 6-8 inch, plump, juicy pods are less uniform than some varieties, the taste of Scarlet Emperor is as sweet as a bean gets. Borne on impressive 8-10 foot tall plants, sprays of beautiful scarlet-orange flowers are the showiest of all the varieties we've trialed. Mottled black/purple seeds. The green pods are edible whole but in some varieties (the scarlet runner) tend to become fibrous early, and only the seeds within are eaten. The seeds can be used fresh or as dried beans.

The flower is known as a favourite of Hummingbirdsand butterflies.
Runner beans contain traces of the poisonous lectin, Phytohaemagglutinin, found in common beans and hence must be thoroughly cooked before consumption.

I do require contact within 48 hours of auction ending with your name/address or per terms of services you forfeit your credits and this will be re-auctioned. I am offering FREE SHIPPING!! I will ship within two days of receiving your address. If you would like tracking, signature, etc then you will need to send money to cover that. When I receive your money (tracking/insurance only) I will send your seeds. Once the seeds are dropped off at the post office they are no longer in my control. Photos are taken of seeds being dropped off with your name on the envelope as I have heard of several fraudulent charges of non receipt and do not wish to be caught up in that!

Questions? Please feel free to ask below :) Be kind :) THANKS :)

If (S)eeds qualify for your swap and you would like these to go to someone other than yourself for those purposes I do not mind. :)
