    CELEBRATION

    Pink Flowered. If you cannot find room in the vegetable garden for a Celebration, try growing a 'wigwam' or two of this attractive, pink flowered runner in the flower border. But it's not just a pretty flower! This British-bred winner of an AGM from the RHS produces plenty of long, succulent, fleshy pods up to 30cm/12in long.
