Striking edible flowers and tasty beans! Scarlet flowers against green, heart-shaped foliage. Often grown just as an ornamental, the flowers are followed by long and slightly fuzzy green beans that, when picked young, are delicious with a rich nutty flavor. Immature bean seeds can be eaten as shelly beans, while mature dry beans are eaten like lima or kidney. Very productive over an extended period. Giant mottled purple/black seeds look like magic beans from Jack and the Beanstalk. Rapid climbers. Keep pods picked for continuous bloom. Plant Height: 72–96"
