Description

SPECIAL OFFER! Collection comprises one packet each of Aquadulce Claudia, Imperial Green Longpod and Express.

Aquadulce Claudia

This variety is universally recognised as being best for an autumn sowing. It establishes itself very quickly and will produce a very early crop. It is white seeded and the pods are up to 15-18in long.

Imperial Green Longpod

15-inch+ pods with up to nine large beans. Succulent, tasty and suitable for freezing. (Green Seeded)

Express

This is the fastest maturing variety of any broad bean and an early spring sowing will out yield all others. Up to 34 good pods per plant! It is also winter hardy, outstanding for deep freeze as it does not discolour and probably for the same reason is particularly tender and tasty. It replaces Imperial Green Windsor over which it is a considerable improvement.

Nutritional Information
