Bean seeds

Does any one know which bean seed is this, was given them a few years back and i forgot about them but not sure if they're runner or french bean or some other type of bean, can any one id them please

 

look like runners to me.

 

They look like French beans, which can be both that colour and white.

Never seen a Runner Bean that colour.

 

Like these ones @Scrungee

Definetley look like French Beans to me but not sure what variety

 

Thank you all, so it's a runner bean and a french bean looks like i'm going to have to plant and see
did do a bit of googling and it looks like there is a runner bean called Black Magic

It also could be a Jiffy bean

 

Sow a single seed, if the cotyledons remain in the soil it's a runner, if they are on the shoot appearing above the soil it's a French bean.

 

Thank you Scrunge
Planted six this morning

 

It's a magic bean

 

Posted my bit above from M6 toll motorway services on way back from bringing back daughter from uni for Easter hols, have a bit more time now:

French beans will look like this:



with the 2 seed cotyledons above ground either side of the first true leaves.


And runner bean seedling cotyledons will remain below ground (and vulnerable to voles), with just the first true leaves appearing above ground level:

 

i use a bean like this for years. climbing french. called cobra

 

Thank you Scungee that will give me something to look for

Thank you Wrinkly1
