How to grow
How to grow
Good pest and disease resistance
The three main issues affecting pea and bean plants are pea moth, pea leaf weevil and powdery mildew. Rodents can also be an issue but they are mainly concerned with taking the pea seeds which wont be an issue if you buy them from Roots because we supply the plant as a plug. To prevent pests you can cover your plants in a fine horticultural fleece. To prevent powdery mildew you should try and keep the plant dry and space plants well apart.
Water regularly
Pea and bean plants need to be regularly watered. Feel the soil and if it is dry to the touch a fingernail deep, then give the plant a watering. On hot, summer days, this means watering once a day.
Full sun
Pea and bean plants need a spot with full sun. Position them where they will receive 6-8 hours of sunlight a day.
Any fertile, well-draining soil
Thrives in any well-drained soil. If your soil is particularly clay-heavy and/or often becomes waterlogged then you can improve the drainage by adding in plenty of organic matter such as garden compost as well as some perlite or gravel.
Feed every two weeks
Once the flowers emerge, feed the plants every two weeks with a high-potash fertiliser such as liquid tomato feed

How Can I Conserve Water?
Plants grow better with rainwater - it’s softer, contains fewer chemicals and has a pH level that most plants prefer.

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.
Highly recommended all round
Delivered quickly, perfectly packaged and the tree was in excellent condition. Really healthy and taken to the garden with no problems. Can't recommend highly enough. 5 stars isn't enough!
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
A really good quality tree
A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
Exceptional quality
The quality of the plants was exceptional, unlike ones I have had before from local garden centres. Thank you so much. I will definitely be using you again.
Marvellous!
Marvellous service, great plants and fast delivery. Very useful information on how to care for the plants I bought. Easy to use website that makes it far too easy to overindulge in fabulous plants 😂🌱
