A dwarf variety to 18" that we have been growing for many years. A hardy type suitable for an autumn or spring sowing and very useful for exposed positions. Good yields of 6 to 8 white beans per pod. An that produces lots of 13-15cm (5-6in) pods each bearing five small, but deliciously tender beans. Broad Bean Sutton is very suitable for successional sowings commencing late autumn (under cloches) or late winter/early summer in the open. Ideal for the small garden. Suitable For Freezing Sowing instructions: Sow the seeds any time in the open ground from March - July or under cloches from November to February. Sow 5cm (2in) deep, 23cm (9in) apart in rows 30cm (12in) apart. Any fertile, well drained soil is suitable but light soil is best for autumn sowing.
