Broad ‘Bean Aguadulce’ Description

Broad ‘Bean Aguadulce’ is a hardy, upright broad bean with blue-green foliage and clusters of scented black-and-white flowers. These are followed by long pods, sometimes reaching around 30cm, typically containing five or six large beans. It can be sown in autumn in sheltered, well-drained gardens for an early crop or during spring where winters are colder or wetter. Grow in full sun in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil and support the stems in exposed positions. Pinch out the soft growing tips once the lowest pods begin forming to discourage blackfly. Ireland’s mild climate suits autumn sowing, but heavy or waterlogged ground may rot young plants, making spring sowing safer in wetter gardens.
