Runner beans - Scarlett Emperor

I've got two rows of these on the go using 6ft canes for support but they don't seem to be growing upwards and have formed lots of tight little bushes, does anyone know this type of bean and if it does grow high or could I use shorter canes and plant more sugar snaps up the taller canes? The packet they came in does not mention anything about height.

I always grow Scarlet Emperor and they do grow tall. Mine are making their way up my 8ft poles!
Firstly are you sure you haven't mixed up your beans and planted dwarf beans by mistake?  Its easily done .
Where did you buy them from? Its possible the supplier have placed the wrong beans in the packet.

If they are not dwarf beans due to soem error perhaps in packing then something (frost ??) has caught the growing tips or they have suffered a check in being moved if started in pots etc. Leave them a while and see what happens. My Scarlet emperors are on the climb already from being planted out about 10 days ago. SE are a fairly distinct large well marked seed compared to the usually small and usually white or red dwarf seeds

I have the same problem with mine to, if the tip has been frost damaged should I start all over again?

Also sounds to me as if you have lost the growing tips somehow.   Thats just what happens if you pinch them out to make bushy plants rather than tall ones if you haven't got the height to grow them tall.  Why not try another lot, its not too late.  Scarlett Emperor are long beans, if grown on short plants they will curl.  They will still taste ok but really runners need to be looonnnnngg and strrraigghhhtt

Let them grow but plant another seed alongside. These will come as well and if the first ones are bushy the second ones will grow up on them and pass. I use 8' canes as well!
