Crimson Flower Broad/Fava beans
I have searched sites for these, and either they're out or don't send to the U.S. It's probably too late to plant in my area now, but I would love to plant some for the fall.
Anybody know of a source where I can get them now? Growing advice for North East Texas? Thanks |

I have about a dozen seeds. Also a few seeds of Green Windsor, if you'd like them.
PM me a mailing address, and possibly any tomato, or other fruit/veggie seed you might be looking for. (Texas seems like the place for lima, yardlong, and cowpeas?) Gary |

How's the flavor for the Crimson Flower? I've read about how they're super pretty, so curious if they've got good flavor, too.

I wouldn't know, as I've never trialed it. It's just one of many beans I've received in swaps, but haven't found the time, or room, for. It's better to pass it along to someone who does.
Christina Jo might be doing a fall planting. She may not see this thread, so you may want to send her a PM. Gary |
