Broad bean (fava) seeds — hardy, protein-rich favourites

Broad beans, or fava beans, are among the hardiest and earliest crops in the veg garden — sown in autumn or early spring for pods of buttery, protein-rich beans. They sit within our peas and beans range and are a different species from French and runner beans. New to growing? Our vegetable growing guide covers the basics.

One of the first crops you can sow each year — the calendar shows the windows.

How to grow broad beans

Sow direct or in pots into well-prepared soil; autumn sowings of hardy types crop earliest. Give tall varieties a string-and-cane frame, and pinch out the soft tips once pods set to deter blackfly. As legumes they fix their own nitrogen.

More peas and beans

For summer pods grow green beans and climbing beans; for sweet pods, peas. Browse all peas and beans and vegetable seeds.

Get a head start on the season — browse the wider pea-and-bean range or move on to summer green beans.

Frequently Asked Questions

When do I sow broad beans?
In autumn in milder areas for an early crop, or from late winter to spring; they are very frost-hardy.

Do they need support?
Tall varieties benefit from a string-and-cane frame; dwarf types are largely self-supporting.

How do I deal with blackfly?
Pinch out the soft growing tips once the lower pods set — the tips are edible and removing them deters blackfly.

Do they improve the soil?
Yes — as legumes they fix nitrogen, leaving the ground richer for the next crop.
