The Aguadulce Fava Bean is a cold hardy broadbean that can also take a bit of heat. This 4' bush-type plant produces charming white and black flowers that turn into huge green pods with huge, creamy, nutty, protein-rich beans inside. Known as a dried bean, it’s also delicious when eaten fresh from the pod. With its edible leaves, high yields, and nitrogen-fixing properties, this is a gorgeous performer for fall and winter gardens in all grow zones.

The Aguadulce Fava BroadBean seeds are ideal for organic home gardeners seeking to grow a high-yield, cold-tolerant broad-bean crop for consumption. These seeds are well-suited for cooler seasons and shorter growing windows, making them a practical choice for USDA zones 4-8. They are perfect for farmers or gardeners with limited space who want to maximize yield from a compact 4-foot bush plant. Additionally, they are suitable for educational gardening programs focused on sustainable agriculture and heirloom seed preservation.

Care

Germination occurs best at soil temperatures between 10-25°C (50-77°F). Plant seeds directly into well-drained, fertile soil about 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist. Mulching helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. The seeds may require support or staking as plants grow tall. The seeds are best kept in a cool, dry place if stored for future planting. 100% natural. No chemical treatments are applied, and seeds can be saved for future seasons following proper drying and storage procedures.
