Vicia faba. An improved strain of the famous hardy early maturing Longpod variety. It produces a crop of fine long pods each containing 8-9 tasty sweet beans. Recommended for Autumn and Winter sowings (outdoors), to give an early Spring crop. Oct/Nov sowing is ideal, producing short stocky plantlets that are tough enough to over-winter. Or sow in situ in Spring for an early Summer crop. The beans are delicious hot or cold. RHS AGM. Height of plants 100cm. Seed count approx - 25
