Broad Bean de Monica

Be the first to harvest delicious broad beans! Ten years of breeding have produced Broad Bean ‘De Monica’, the earliest maturing broad bean variety from a spring sowing. High yields of 15cm (6″) pods with 4-5 large seeds per pod will be ready to harvest at the same time as winter sown variety ‘Aquadulce’. This exciting new variety has a strong root system and an upright growth habit, producing 2-3 stems per plant. Height: 120cm (48″). Spread: 45cm (18″).
Companion planting: Try growing broad beans with summer savory to help repel black bean aphids, a common pest of broad beans.
