A wonderful dwarf type of broad bean, attaining a height of nine to twelve inches only when grown in the open ground. The plants are of more or less spreading habit and are so freely branched that a very large number of pods is produced, each containing four or five beans of superior table quality.

Sowing & Growing
For spring sowing: February – April, for autumn sowing: October – November
Sow broad bean seeds outside in October or November, providing the ground is still warm. Sowing in autumn means you can achieve an earlier harvest, starting from around May the following year.Alternatively, they can also be sown outdoors from February throughout spring. If sowing in February, it’s a good idea to give them a head start by warming the ground with a polytunnel or cloche until they germinate. To give them even better chance of success you can sow them indoors or in a propagator, one per Rootrainer is ideal. The seedlings can then be planted outside at a distance of 20 – 25cm apart.When sowing outside, sow 4-5cm deep in drills made with a dibber. Seeds can be sown 20 – 25cm apart in staggered rows.

I have just bought all my new seeds for next year’s vegetables after having such great results this year. Budget seeds are so helpful, I’m a newbie in the veg growing world and they have been helpful in choosing the best seeds to start with etc. also much cheaper than elsewhere so if I do mess up in the future it isn’t costing me so much. I thoroughly recommend Budget Seeds for all your veg and flower seeds.
