BUYERS NOTES
A heritage variety with stunning crimson flowers, followed by a good crop of short, upright pods and delicious beans. Broad Bean Crimson Flowered is ideal for growing in containers as well as in the garden, or as an ornamental edible in the flower border.
Sowing Information:
Sow seeds from February to May outdoors. Ideally sow seeds in double rows, 5cm (2in) deep in well prepared soil, 20-23cm (8-9in) apart both in the row and between each row. Allow at least 60cm (24in) between each double row. Germination takes about 10 days.
Growing Information:
Support the plants as they grow by placing a cane or stout stick at each corner and tying in with string, especially in windy sites. Plants in containers may also need support.
Aftercare Information:
Keep well watered especially when flowering and as pods set. Pinch out growing tip once pods have set to help deter blackfly. Pick regularly as the pods swell and the beans are tasty, soft and tender, and to promote further pod production.
