Broad Bean Aquadulce Claudia – Hardy & Early Cropping Variety

Product Description

Broad Bean Aquadulce Claudia is a time-tested favourite among gardeners, prized for its reliability, flavour, and hardiness. This traditional variety can be sown in autumn or early spring, giving you the flexibility to enjoy fresh, tender beans throughout the season.

When sown in autumn, Aquadulce Claudia plants overwinter exceptionally well, producing one of the earliest broad bean crops of the year. The plants are strong and resilient, making them perfect for the unpredictable UK climate.

Each plant yields glossy green pods approximately 9 inches long, containing 5–8 plump white beans. The beans are sweet, succulent, and creamy in texture, making them ideal for cooking fresh or freezing for later use. Their quick harvest-to-table time ensures maximum flavour and tenderness, with none of the bitterness or toughness found in older or overripe beans.

This variety proudly holds the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit (AGM) — a mark of outstanding quality and performance in the garden.

Perfect for garden beds or allotments, Broad Bean Aquadulce Claudia can be sown in succession from October through early spring, giving continuous yields from late May to August. With approximately 8 seeds per packet, it’s an excellent choice for gardeners of all experience levels.

All seeds are individually inspected and carefully packed to ensure quality. Growing instructions are included on every packet.
