A high-yielding semi leafless variety, needing no support when grown in a block. These floriferous pea plants produce heavy crops of crunchy, stringless 8cm (3in) pods over a long period if picked regularly to encourage further flower development. Sugar Lace consistently showed high resistance to Furarium wilt and intermediate resistance to powdery mildew in our trials. Use netting supports if grown in rows.Sow every 10 days to ensure successional crops. Sow 5cm (2in) deep in flat-bottomed drills spacing about 2.5-5cm (1-2in) apart, and in rows 75cm (30in) apart.Water plants regularly, especially when in flower as this will improve the crop. Pick the pods regularly once they are swollen with peas, eat pods whole or add to stir fried. Regular picking will encourage further flowering.

Mr. Tall has very long legs! He's so tall that when I look up at him, I can hardly see his face; it's so far away! Mr. Tall is a good friend to have, he can see for miles, which is very helpful for worms.Sow seeds 5cm (2in) deep in rows spaced 30cm (12in) apart.I love growing runner beans because they’re tall like me! Sometimes gardening gives me backache because I have to bend right down to the ground, but runner beans grow up and up. You'll need to put some long canes or sticks in the ground for them to climb up and if they're really tall, you might need a ladder to pick them! It's worth it, they're delicious!

A premier variety in every way. The pure white flowers of Runner Bean White Lady are less prone to being picked by birds, so the resulting crop is much greater. Plus, Runner Bean White Lady sets better than any other when it comes to high temperatures. The long, mid green pods with white seeds hang in numerous clusters, and are both smooth and stringless. The result is a delicious vegetable which can be sliced or eaten whole with a garnish of butter.Prefers to be grown in fertile, moist yet well drained soil which has had plenty of well rotted compost dug into it the previous autumn. For an early start sow seeds from mid spring in artificial heat (propagator, greenhouse, warm room) in peat pots and plant out after last expected frost. Outdoors do not sow until at least 10 days after last frost, 5cm (2in) deep. Sow 2 seeds every 30cm (12in) in rows 38cm (15in) apart.Remove weaker seedlings after germination. Make sure your soil is warm and avoid it becoming baked hard. Water regularly and liquid feed every 14 days during mid summer.A thick mulch will help conserve moisture. Pick the beans regularly a little on the young side to ensure top quality and prolonged cropping.
