This beautiful relative of the hyacinth bean also forms edible pods and flowers! However, the pods are too small to classify this species as a vegetable...
It is a fast-growing climbing plant with dark green leaves and clusters of lilac-pink butterfly-shaped flowers. Give them a sunny spot and well-drained, humus-rich soil. With good winter protection, the plant sprouts again every spring!
