Il_794xN.6340255544_20p7waited too late.   i wanted eat off  the vine  green beans,  Seychelles,  and the tried and true Kentucky Wonder.   Out of Stock.  Ok and i also wanted for the first time,  Scarlet  Runner,  inspired by CatherinE   and of all things,   they do not send Scarlet Runner to California….?????     I want them for the humming birds.   and i really,  really want them for the hummingbirds.   So maybe this time around i just build a beauty Full trellis?  What will that feel like?,  to build it in anticipation?

    In some states, scarlet runner pods are listed as toxic and invasive. You can probably google “is scarlet runner toxic” and find more info.

    I think Jude is right…what about hyacinth bean vine for the hummingbirds?

    I’ve definitely ordered scarlet runner beans from Territorial Seeds and Annie’s Heirloom. We live on the California coast in Del Norte County. It’s been a couple of years since then and perhaps things have changed?

    I didn’t know that! They are not invasive here in Maine, but our climate is so different. There are probably other types of red-flowered climbers that would nourish hummingbirds.
    On the subject of trellises – A friend builds teepees to support climbing vines. An easy trellis made of sticks leaned against each other.

    I love hyacinth bean vines. So do the bees and hummingbirds.
