Broad Bean Lucifer
Botanical Name: Vicia faba
Selected and developed in New Zealand. Full size plants with white flowers and well filled pods of delicious beans. Good source of Vitamin C, folate and fibre.
| How To Grow | Prepare double rows 30cm (1’) apart, 5cm (2”) deep, sowing seeds 25cm (10”) apart. If more than one double row is to be planted allow 60cm (2’) between them. Pinch out the top of the plants when pods are 7-10cm (3-4”) long. This will encourage an earlier crop of well-filled pods and help to deter blackfly. Broad Beans like a rich, well dug soil but most soils will give a satisfactory crop. If possible, add a general fertiliser to the soil before sowing. Seedlings emerge 10-14 days. |
