Best vertical accent for gardeners seeking heat-tolerant, edible ornamental vines.
This vining annual turns a standard trellis into a dramatic, monochromatic display of deep purple from stem to pod. While it demands vertical space to truly show off, the payoff is a heat-tolerant, edible ornamental that works just as hard in the kitchen as it does in the garden.
