I've often wondered why I don't see this gorgeous vine planted
everywhere. It grows fast, has beautiful bicolored foliage, and
produces lots of lovely scented flower spikes followed by big purple
pods filled with attractive seeds. I give mine an early start indoors
under lights, and have noticed that the leaves of the young vines emit
an incredible fragrance, rather subtle but even more delicious than the
flowers.


Lucky you that you did so well with this plant. I tried it a few years ago
outdoors, planted it like a normal bean in the spring (started in
greenhouse, planted outdoors). It sprouted and grew, but then died a death.
I don't know what went wrong. Maybe our summers at that time were too cold
and wet.

But like I said, lucky you!
