Notes

'Broad Windsor Fava Bean' (Vicia faba Broad Windsor) is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It is one of the more cold-hardy crops and can keep growing through light freezes with some winter protection. This plant likes full or part sun. Bees and butterflies visit it, so it adds life to a mixed bed.

Pairs well with Lettuce, Cilantro, Chives, and Basil.
