With Living Seeds’ organic Brunhilde runner bean seeds, you’ll bring colour and variety to your vegetable garden. The Brunhilde variety, developed from the tried-and-tested Blauhilde of the Neckarkönigin type, stands out for its striking blue, round-oval and thick-fleshed pods, which take on an appetising green colour when cooked. This runner bean is particularly high-yielding and hardy, so you can look forward to a bountiful harvest from July to October – whether you’re growing them outdoors or in a greenhouse.
The best time for sowing is between May and June. The seeds are sown directly into the bed, with a recommended spacing of around 80–100 cm between rows and 8–10 cm within the row. Ensure that the germination temperature is between 15 and 25 °C to allow the beans to grow optimally. A sunny spot and loose, humus-rich soil further promote growth.
The harvested beans are ideal for a wide range of dishes: whether as a crisp side dish, in a stew, in a salad or served classically with bacon – the thick-fleshed pods retain their tender texture even after cooking. Freshly harvested and prepared straight away, they offer an unrivalled flavour and are also rich in valuable nutrients. They are also ideal for freezing or preserving, so you can enjoy your harvest all year round.
With the ‘Brunhilde’ organic runner bean seeds, you’re choosing a healthy, hardy and flavourful variety that’s ideal for both novice gardeners and experienced hobby gardeners. The organic quality also guarantees sustainable and environmentally friendly cultivation.
