Broad Bean 'Oscar'
- The smallest Broad Bean - perfect for freezing
- Upright pods for easy picking
- Ideal for containers and small spaces
A favourite broad bean with commercial growers for its uniformity and ease of picking and processing. The small but flavoursome beans are the best option for freezer storage, being far less prone to discolouring than larger varieties. We recommend growing Broad Bean Oscar alongside Marrowfat Pea Onward to produce your own pea and bean freezer mix for long term storage.
Oscar pods can also be picked before filling out and treated as a mangetout pea, but to get the most from your broad bean crop allow pods to fill and pick whilst young and tender. Compact plants with upright pods grow well in patio containers and stand well in open ground with no supports.
Height Up To 90cm (35.4in)
Spread Up To 45cm (17.7in)
Hardiness & Longevity: Hardy Annual
Ideal for: Patio, Kitchen Garden
Position In: Full Sun
Sowing Months: January - July
Flowering Months: May to July
Harvest Months: June to August
