How to Grow Broad Bean – Egyptian

When to Plant

Sow in autumn or winter for best results. In colder regions, early spring planting is also possible.

Sun & Soil

Prefers full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. Mix in compost or aged manure before planting for a strong start.

Planting Guide

• Sow seeds directly into the garden, 4-5 cm deep
• Space plants 15-20 cm apart, with 50 cm between rows
• Water well after planting and keep the soil evenly moist
• Provide support as plants can grow up to a metre tall
• Pinch out growing tips once flowers appear to encourage pod production

Harvesting Tips

Pick pods when they’re full but still tender. For dried beans, allow pods to mature on the plant until they turn brown, then shell and store.
