How high...

[snohare]

...do Dreadnought broad beans grow ? I planted out a dozen plants from B & Q recently, and only later did I think, "Hmmm...wonder if they'll need staking, or a trellis...?"
I was going to search to see what the seed catalogues said, and then I thought, hang on, they often fib - better to ask people who have actually grown the things themselves !

Seems like no-one else knows the answer either Sno!

Sorry Snohare but info on height seems in short supply. They are rated very highly for taste though and pics of them appear to show a bushy plant.

Not heard of these either Snohare, but if they're broad beans surely they should just require a bit of support together as they bush, I would doubt they climb.

I grew these last year, they were very prolific and i'm growing again, very impressed as I lovvvvee b'bs. They don't get too tall about 50-60cms, I didn't stake and they didn't flop,am also growing some crimson flowered ones this year we shall see which ones get the thumbs up!
Good luck and enjoy!
