Broad Bean – Lucifer (30 seeds)

Broad Bean Lucifer

Broad Bean 'Lucifer' is a striking variety that earns its name with deep crimson red flowers that make it one of the most ornamental broad beans available. It is a strong, upright grower producing generous yields of plump, well-filled pods with tender green beans inside. As attractive in the garden border as it is in the vegetable patch, it offers both visual impact and reliable eating quality.

Well suited to cool season growing in New Zealand, 'Lucifer' performs best when sown in autumn or winter for a spring harvest. It is a robust and productive plant that benefits from staking at full height and rewards growers with a sustained and heavy crop over several weeks.
