Broad bean 'Karmazyn'

15 seeds

Sow Outdoors: Plant seeds directly outdoors in early spring, around 2–4 weeks before the last frost, in well-drained, fertile soil. Space seeds about 6–8 inches apart in rows that are 18–24 inches apart.

Planting Depth: Sow seeds about 1–2 inches deep.

Germination: Keep the soil moist during the germination period. Beans generally take about 7–14 days to germinate.

Sunlight and Care: Broad beans thrive in full sun but will tolerate partial shade. Water regularly, but avoid waterlogging. Beans don’t need much fertilization, but adding compost to the soil can promote growth.

Support: As the plants grow tall, they may need staking or support to prevent them from falling over in wind or heavy rain.

Karmazyn is a broad bean variety known for its attractive red flowers and high-quality, sweet-tasting beans. They’re a great source of protein and ideal for both fresh eating and freezing.
