“Negreta,” a fava (. Vicia faba ) variety originating from either Italy or Spain, yields large green pods with large beans that mature to a dark, imperial purple shade.
We’ll get right to it: the real story of this fava bean (Vicia faba) variety are its crimson flowered blossoms, which sets it apart from all white flowered varieties we’ve grown. The blossoms attract a variety of beneficial insects including sphinx moths....
Young pods are succulent enough to be eaten whole and baby leaves are quite palatable as well and can be prepared and eaten like spinach. Favas have a large, deep taproot that aids in loosening tight subsoil.
The cold hardy nature of this hyssop makes it ideal for colder winter climates. Our Hyssop Seed Collection includes three different flower types inside a large envelope featuring hand painted art and written content.
