Thompson & Morgan Broad Bean Oscar

Product Code: 238096

£2.69

Pinch out the tips of the plants when in full flower to help the pods swell and to help reduce infestation of blackfly. Pick frequently when pods are well-filled but still tender.

The small but flavoursome beans are the best option for freezer storage, being far less prone to discolouring than larger varieties. 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.
