Rediscovered in the monastic garden of the Bishops of Bath & Wells where it was thought to be 1st gifted to the clergy in the 12th century from visiting Pilgrims. 
 
CULTURE – Can be sown directly 23cm (9”) apart in Sept/Oct or Feb/March (although benefits from cloche protection during harsher winter weather).  Prefers a warm, sheltered, sunny location with plenty of well-rotted mature incorporated into the soil. Overall height: 90cm (3ft).  Plants need to be kept moist for good pod set.
