Dear Victoriana Team,
After a long wait my Samphire plants have finally arrived and I am so impressed I immediately wanted to order some more.
Oh and by the way, thank you for packing all of your plants so well. Even though it is quite frustrating to sieve through all the shredded newspaper and then trying to dispose of it with bits blowing all over the place(especially with bigger plants), your system really works and seems to be the best way of protecting the plants. I have had some bad experience with other garden centres before and actually vowed never to buy plants online again, yet you have really managed to convince me that it can be quite safe.
Thank you very much.

Broad Bean Plants
Broad Beans are known by many other names, including Vicia faba, fava bean, faba bean, field bean, bell bean and tic bean!
They really are so easy to grow, you just pop our hardened-off plants into the garden, make sure they have water and wait for them to grow and then pick them! So easy and so good you and your soil. You tend to find that you can grow broad bean plants without the need for support but if you are in a particularly exposed area you may need to put a cane in next to them to keep them upright. More...
There is something quite unmistakeable about the green bulgy pods in which the beans grow and thei soft, fluffy inside where you find the beans. Many people prefer to pop the beans out from their tougher outer 'grey' skin to reveal the green bean inside. This is particularly beneficial if the beans are getting a little older.
Broad beans can be eaten raw, cooked or even ground into a flour. How do you like yours?
Broad Bean Plant 'The Sutton'
A dwarf variety perfect for the smaller plot. Extremely hardy, so ideal for over-wintering. Excellent flavour and heavy cropping too.
Available from APPROXIMATELY mid March 2021
