Fava Bean Seeds - Aquadulce

Vicia faba HEIRLOOM. Give these heirloom beauties a long, cool season and they’ll produce loads of 12- to 16-inch long pods full of huge beans with rich flavor and a wonderful chewy texture. In warm climates, they are often planted in fall and overwintered for spring harvest, as they can weather temperatures down to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Gardeners in cooler climates may plant them as soon as the soil is workable in spring for a late spring harvest. The beans can be cooked and eaten at the green stage, or as a dry bean. These seeds should be direct seeded in the garden either in early spring or fall, in a location with full sun and well-drained soil. The three-foot plants may benefit from staking or trellising. Beans will begin to mature about 90 days after planting. 28 gram packet contains approximately 16 seeds.
