Also known as broad beans, these vigorous plants produce sturdy stems with fragrant white and purple-tinged flowers followed by long pods filled with plump beans. They thrive in cool weather and make an excellent choice for spring and fall gardens, adding nitrogen to the soil as they grow.\u003cbr\u003e\nFava beans are enjoyed fresh when young and tender or dried for storage and winter cooking. The plants grow upright and can reach several feet tall, making them a striking addition to the vegetable patch. Harvest pods when they are full and firm for the best flavor and texture. Their cool-season habit allows gardeners to extend the growing season beyond warm-weather crops.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Vicia faba\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Garden\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Annual legume\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright bushy\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-drained, fertile loam\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: 75-90\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 3-10\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: 6-14 days\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Direct sow 1-2 inches deep after last frost\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 6-8 inches apart in rows 18-24 inches apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Cool-season crop; thrives in mild temperatures\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67664758997128,"sku":"AGY-439","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/il_fullxfull.7825097753_nwxx_9773cf5d-1972-48cf-90a2-23840f63ca39.jpg?v=1791898662","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/10-fava-bean-seeds-garden-variety-heirloom-cool-season-legume","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
