Bush bean runners

How long do bush lima bean (butter beans) runners usually get? I think they called them Jackson Wonder at the store. These were planed five weeks ago and the runners are approaching 2.5 - 3 feet long. Hope they weren't mislabeled and really pole beans!

I got a package of some variety of "bush bean" free one time, which I gave to a friend, since I only plant pole beans. But when she planted it she got 4' long "bushes"! So you just never know!

Bush beans don't run! Haha! You better go find you some sturdy sticks and some string and start runnin em.

Every now and then I get a runner in with my bush beans!
