Vegetable Seed, Territorial Seed, Fava Beans, Vicia Faba, September to October Planting, 1 oz

Popular in European gardens, broad Windsor is one of the tastiest of all dried beans and one of the largest - the size of a quarter. When eaten at the shelling stage, you'll discover why their mild flavor makes them perfect partners with many spices and herbs. Great for falafels. The sturdy bushes stand 4 ft tall, produce 4 to 5 in pods and are reliably hardy to 12 deg F. Buff colored seeds.

• Fava beans prefer cool weather, sow as soon as soil can be worked in the spring and plant again in the fall
• Beans are shallow rooted and can require up to 1/4 in of water a day during hot weather
