Brilliant orange-red flowers draw hummingbirds to the garden. This climbing bean is beautiful, quick to flower, and versatile in the kitchen with many stages of harvest.

The blossoms taste like sugar snap peas, crisp and sweet, and are beautiful scattered on salads or cocktails. In England, the young pods are a summer staple, while the mature beans are prized in Northern Italy for their rich, nutty flavor. One plant with many uses. A must grow.
