Sunset Runner Bean has quickly become one of our favorites—so much so that we couldn’t stop photographing it in 2025. Its peach-colored blooms seemed to get more beautiful as the s eason went on, drawing in pollinators and even sparking a few hummingbird quarrels over its nectar. Its trellis was alive with color and motion all season long. Compared to other runner beans we’ve trialed, Sunset stood out for its resilience and performance. It handled heat better than expected and rewarded us with longer, more consistent pods throughout the season. The flowers were abundant—we even brought them in for arrangements. The combination of ornamental charm and reliable harvests makes this variety an easy choice for both beauty and practicality. Pods should always be cooked before eating. Sunset Runner is excellent for the kitchen, with young pods well-suited for freezing or canning, and mature beans that dry down into a hearty staple for soups, stews, and other dishes. If you’re looking for a runner bean that shines in every way, Sunset is one worth growing. Show more
