Bean Seeds

Bean Seeds

Bean seeds are a firm favourite for gardeners of all levels. They’re simple to grow, taste fantastic, and make an ideal first project for beginners – perfect for getting the kids involved in the garden! They’re also useful beyond the harvest: spent plants can be dug back into the ground to enrich your soil with nitrogen, helping set the stage for a more productive garden next season.

From early sowings of broad bean seeds to the compact convenience of dwarf bean seeds and the reliable yields of runner bean seeds, we have something to suit every space and growing style. Climbing varieties make the most of vertical room, while bushy types are ideal for beds or containers.

Browse Fothergill’s full range of bean seeds and look forward to a bumper crop of rewarding and delicious veg. You’ll also find a selection of bean plants if you prefer a head start.

When to Plant Bean Seeds

The best time to plant bean seeds depends on the type. Broad beans can be sown as early as February in milder areas or under cover, while for French and runner beans it’s best to wait until after the last frost, typically from late April through May. For a steady harvest, sow in stages every few weeks. Beans do best in warm soil, so be sure conditions have warmed sufficiently before planting outdoors.

How to Grow Beans from Seed

Sow bean seeds directly into well-drained soil in a sunny spot, spacing them according to the variety. For climbing types, add supports when sowing to avoid disturbing their roots later on. Water them regularly, especially as the plants start flowering, and keep the area weed-free as they grow. If starting indoors, use pots or trays and transplant once seedlings are strong enough and the weather is mild.
