Default Scarlet Runner Beans - OK for kids?

Hi, Chris!

Scarlet Runners are safe for kids, pets and wildlife. As another
suggestion, why don't you try castor bean seeds. They would be much
more attractive.

Hello!

I want to put some plants in to cover a very dull fence. I have young
children and am looking for something non-toxic & decorative. I know the
beans of scarlet runner beans are edible, but what about the flowers? Are
these child friendly plants? Any other suggestions? My children are always
supervised when outdoors, but you can never be too careful.

TIA,

Jacqui
