For the Earliest Broad Beans - Sow Aquadulce Claudia This Autumn!

This is a broad bean that is recognised as the best variety for an Autumn sowing and comes with an RHS Award of Garden Merit.

It establishes itself quickly, is very hardy and produces very early crops. ‘Claudia' produces very long glossy pods up to 9in, with tender light coloured beans.

Sow Aquadulce in Autumn, preferably in October or November. This broad bean will produce hardy young plants, strong enough to stand the winter frosts and ready to grow away quickly as soon as warmer spring days arrive. Net to deter wildlife.

Good germination rate last autumn, but I lost all my first batch to the extreme winter weather at the end of last year. (This in Sheffield.) Stuck half a dozen seeds into the soil as a last-ditch attempt some time in January and now have three very sturdy bean plants producing delicately flavoured beans in lush-looking pods. Very nice, but there needed to be around a dozen plants to actually feed the household--lesson learned for next year!

This is a great bean, I have grown it for the last 2 years and had wonderful yeilds each time hence why have bought it again this year.
