Maltese Fava Bean Seeds for Planting — 1 kg

A 1 kg pack of Maltese fava bean seeds for those expanding beyond small seed packs to plant several rows or beds.

Maltese fava bean seeds in a 1 kg pack are suitable for larger home gardens or small growing areas. Maltese fava beans are a type of broad bean, grown in the cool season for green pods that can be harvested gradually. The actual variety and growing conditions determine pod shape, size and harvest timing; check the batch details before adding more specific varietal descriptions.

Where and when should I plant?

Choose sunny, well-drained ground. Fava beans suit mild to cool weather. In Jordan, sowing dates depend on the location, particularly the difference between the Jordan Valley and the highlands, and the risk of frost. Pod set is reduced if flowers encounter high temperatures or water stress.

Planting guide

• Prepare the rows and loosen the soil while maintaining good drainage.
• Sow directly at an approximate depth of 4–6 cm, leaving around 15–25 cm between plants and 45–60 cm between rows. Adjust spacing to the batch's growth and the irrigation system.
• Water after sowing, then maintain even moisture without saturating the soil, particularly during flowering and pod formation.
• Monitor weeds and pests. For fresh consumption, harvest full pods while the beans are still green and tender.
