They give way to edible pods that are either green or purple. Both the flowers and the green leaves, which are 3 to 5 inches long and composed of three ovate leaflets, are edible as well. While this plant is a perennial, growing runner beans as an annual outside of their hardiness zones is common too. Runner bean seeds should be planted in the spring after the threat of frost has passed; they have a rapid growth rate. Note that while you can eat the beans of runner beans, eating them uncooked can be toxic to people and animals.So be mindful of runner bean plants around children and pets.
