Good to know that. I grew 4 runner varieties this year, including Insuk that someone generously shared through last year's trade. However, Insuk quickly ran into seeds and did not come back even when it was cooler. Liberty Runners , from Uk, are the only ones still producing, in clusters, long tender pods that can reach 1 foot. Moonbeam was not bad. I'll give Insuk another try next year.
Runner beans tolerate colder temperature for sure, but they won't set well if too cold, just blooms then abort them.
