Description
Bohnenkraut is the classic seasoning herb for bean dishes — it makes them more digestible and gives them a peppery, slightly bitter note. In the garden it is a good companion for beans and is said to help keep black bean aphids away.
Care instructions
Sow the annual summer bean herb at the end of April directly between the beans or in a sunny spot. Water sparingly, as it prefers drier, leaner conditions. Harvest the shoot tips just before flowering in July for the most aromatic flavor.
