Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Description

Broad Bean (Vicia faba) is a sturdy plant primarily known for its culinary value. Its pods, containing nutritious beans, make a tasty addition to various dishes. While not especially ornate, its modest white flowers with black spots add subtle charm when they blossom in Makuru (winter) to Djilba (early spring).

Gardeners can grow Broad Bean in the ground, pots, or within vegetable/herb gardens. Staking or climbing support is necessary. For those planting in the ground, especially in sandy soils, it's essential to enrich the area with well-decomposed compost or organic matter to retain moisture and nutrients. Positioning the plant in a sunny spot, water it moderately; however, during cooler weather in Bunuru (summer) and Djeran (autumn), reduce watering. Annually, during Birak (early summer) or early Djilba (late winter to early spring), feed Broad Beans with a balanced, all-purpose fertiliser. For optimal pod production, a light prune after harvesting is recommended.
