Full Product Description

Broad bean (Vicia faba) is an annual upright legume vegetable. It grows thick rigid stems and compound green leaves. Mature flat pods hang on plant branches, and each pod holds several big‑size beans.

Every batch of seeds gets carefully sorted. Shrivelled, broken and mouldy grains are removed. Healthy seeds grow into vigorous plants and produce well‑shaped pods. The crop also improves soil fertility through root nodules, making it a fantastic choice for crop rotation in home‑gardens.

Packaging & Shipping Notes

Hard broad‑bean seeds are sealed inside thick moisture‑proof bags. Outer carton packaging avoids grain breakage and seed loss in the course of transportation.

Keep seed packets away from high‑temperature areas, humid air and long‑time direct sunlight. Reseal leftover seeds tightly and store them within cool, dry and well‑ventilated positions.

Planting Guide

Best Sowing Season

Sow in late autumn or early spring. The suitable growing temperature ranges 5℃‑20℃. Hot summer weather will block normal plant growth.

Seed Pre‑Treatment

Soak seeds in clean room‑temperature water for 8‑12 hours
Discard floating inactive seeds
You may place soaked seeds on damp cloth for pre‑sprouting to shorten germination time

Soil Requirement

Clear weeds and stones, deeply turn over planting soil. Loose, fertile, well‑drained neutral sandy‑loam works best. Water‑logged soil easily causes root rot.

Sowing Operation

Bury seeds 1.5‑2 inches deep into soil, leave adequate space between seedlings and lightly compress top‑layer soil.

Germination & Seedling Care

Maintain slight soil moisture. Healthy seeds germinate within 7‑12 days under cool‑moist conditions. Thin over‑crowded seedlings and clear away weeds on a regular basis.

Daily‑care for Mature Plants

Full‑sun environments boost robust stem growth and abundant pod production. Keep stable soil moisture and add phosphorus‑potassium fertilizer during the flowering and pod‑developing stage. Pick pods when beans inside turn plump yet still stay tender.

Seed Storage & Package

Sealed damp‑proof packaging shields seeds from moisture, mould and shipping‑caused damage.

Store spare seeds in cool, dry, shaded and well‑ventilated zones. Low‑temperature refrigerated storage preserves seed vitality. Keep seeds away from hot‑humid surroundings. Sow seeds within three‑month storage to reach ideal germination performance.
