Broad bean
Vicia faba
A cool-season legume producing substantial upright stems clothed in white flowers with a distinctive dark blotch, followed by generous pods of meaty, nutty-flavoured beans. Beyond the kitchen garden its height, sweetly fragrant blossom, and nitrogen-fixing roots make it a valuable companion in productive planting schemes.
