Crimson flowered broad beans

[sweet-pea]

Hi all

I'd love to grow some of these next year having seen them at Barnsdale gardens at the A4A meet, however I'm not having much luck finding a source of seeds.  Doeas anyone know if these are commercially available,and if so where from.  Or if anyone has any seed going spare/swap I'd be very grateful.

Many thanks

Hopefully they'll do better next year. They're quite ornamental, with a range of shades of purplish red. Unfortunately, because mine were planted very late in order to avoind cross-breeding with Aquadulce, they were flowering during the absolute worst of the weather, and most flowers went unpollinated.
