Broad Bean 'Superaguadulce'
- Loved by Pollinators
- Perfect for Pots
The hardiest broad bean there is, for sowing any time from autumn until spring
In the spring, before the beans crop, inter-sow your lines of broad beans with summer savory – the delicious herb which tastes like thyme. This helps protect against black bean aphid and a sprig or two in their boiling water gives the beans delicious flavour.
