Beans bloom very differently depending on the variety. They all have one thing in common: the blossom of the bean is beautiful! Get to know three types of beans with impressively beautiful flowers and their flowering time.

The fire bean flowers red

When and how do beans bloom?

The beans usually bloom for a few weeks from mid to late May, depending on when they are sown. The flowers, which are about one to two centimeters in size, consist of a calyx-like lower part and a "lid". After flowering, the butterfly flowers transform into elongated pods. Colored beans often have beautifully colored pods and beans as well.

The blossom of the fire bean

The fire bean gets its name from its blossoms, because they bloom fiery red from June to September, depending on sowing. The fire bean is a climbing bean and therefore needs a climbing aid. And it's not just the flowers that are colourful, the seeds are also worth waiting for until the late harvest with their strong shades of purple.

The blossom of broad beans

The broad bean, also known as broad bean or broad bean, usually has multicolored flowers. The combination of white and black is particularly common, with the inner part of the calyx-like flower being black. But there are also blood-red flowering varieties such as the broad bean crimson. Blossoms of the broad bean can be expected from May depending on sowing. Here you will find an overview of delicious broad bean varieties.

The flower of the trout bean

A particularly pretty and delicately flowering type of bean is the "trout bean". It flowers - hence the name probably - salmon-colored. Their seeds are marbled purple-white. This bean also needs a climbing aid.

tips

If you prefer a soft white color in the garden, simply choose one of the countless white-flowering bean varieties. Think carefully about whether you want to grow a pole bean or a Bosch bean. Runner beans grow taller and need a climbing aid. At flowering time, a curtain of white or other colored flowers is created.
