White Emergo
A tier
White Emergo is a white-flowered runner with stringless tendencies and fleshy pods favoured by commercial and garden growers who want fewer strings than old scarlet types. Flavour is mild and beany. Flowers are white rather than scarlet spectacle. Slice and cook as premium runners; good for freezing. Choose Emergo when stringlessness matters. Reliable heavy crops in good soil.
