GARDENER'S CHOICE. RHS Award

Aquadulce Claudia Broad Beans

This variety of broad beans produce slightly longer pods and is slightly more winter hardy than Aquadulce. In all other respects, they are the same. This is a traditional white seeded variety which is a popular choice with gardeners. The plants reach sizes of 100cm tall x 45cm wide, and the pods can reach 22cm long! Aquadulce Claudia seeds are also great for autumn sowing, for an early spring harvest.

Additional Details

When to Sow Aquadulce Claudia Broad Bean Seeds

Late October to November or February to March

Where to Sow Aquadulce Claudia Seeds

Draw out seed drills direct into the growing site 5cm (2in) deep in rows, spacing the seeds 10-15cm (4-6in) apart, spacing rows 60cm (24in) apart. Early spring sowings may benefit from being sown under cloches.

What to do next

If necessary thin seedlings to 10cm (4in) apart. When the first pods have set pinch out the top 6cm (2 1/2in) to help discourage blackfly. Harvest once pods become filled with succulent tasty young beans.

Maturity

June and July

Handy Tip

Bean plants are nitrogen fixers. When cropping is over, cut plants down and dig in as a green manure.
