A high-yielding variety, the short, 15cm long pods contain up to 5 medium-sized beans with an excellent flavour. Broad Bean ‘Suprifin’ is a versatile variety suited to autumn sowing for an early crop the following spring/summer. Height: 90cm (35in). Spread: 45cm (18in).
Sowing Information
Sow direct into soil prepared by digging and raking at a depth of 5cm (2”), spacing the seeds 20cm (8”) apart. Best sown alternately in double rows allowing 23cm (9”) between the two lines forming each row. Allow 60-90cm (24-36”) between further rows. Germination 7-21 days. Can also be sown in pots or trays of compost on a windowsill or in a greenhouse for eventual planting outside. Grows best in a sheltered site, but not shaded, in well-drained soil. Pinching out tips helps to prevent attacks of blackfly. Water well during dry weather to aid flower setting and bean formation
