Most members of the climbing bean family creep up their poles anticlockwise (when viewed from below). But runner beans like to be different, twisting clockwise as they inch their way up towards the sun.

Do runner beans twist clockwise?

SUPPORTING RUNNER BEANS

Well I can confirm from personal experience that runner beans twist and grow in exactly the same direction (clockwise when viewed from below) there as well. They do exactly the same wherever you are in world.

Which way do runner beans go?

The plant is sensitive to gravity and the root grows towards gravity. This is called Geotropism. The shoot always grows away from gravity (negative geotropism). Whichever way up you plant the seed the root grows down into the soil and the shoot grows up to push out into the light.
