It’s a favorite amongst gardeners for its highly attractive greenish-purple leaves and purple stems, flowers and pods.

Heirloom, grown from seed in high quality soil.
A scrumptious edible ornamental with scarlet red blooms that yield inky black beans. The young tender pods make superior snap beans. Allow the pods to swell and the beans to mature and you will be rewarded with a culinary delight. The dried beans are a deep obsidian color, and their flavor and texture are fantastic! These pole beans are beautiful and bloom over a long season.
Edible blue flowered heirloom vine from Thailand. Gorgeous, huge, double blue blooms make a natural food dye and soothing tea to calm the nerves.

Grown from seed in high quality soil.
12-25' vines grow easily in full sun and normal soil. Elegant fern-like foliage sports bright pink, red, or white blooms all summer long. Cypress Vine is the perfect screen, with lacy, fern-like foliage elegant enough for the patio yet dense and lush, for superb coverage. A good choice for the less-rich soils near fences and against structures. Grown from seed in high quality soil.
We've been growing this heirloom vine on a homemade willow trellis for years, and it is really spectacular! Huge 6” blooms, grows well in full or part sun. Grown from seed in high quality soil.
An antique fragrant climbing sweet pea vine with ample amounts of blossoms throughout summer. This award-winning vine provides cut flowers, and the more you cut the more it blooms. This is not an edible pea. Grown from seed in high quality soil.
This dark and dramatic hue of a classic bloom will offer color variants from deep purple to a truer blue, depending on soil nutrients! But on either end of the color spectrum, this variety is lovely, sweet smelling and carries long stems, perfect for cutting!
One of the most elegant nasturtiums we have ever had the pleasure to grow, Jewel of Africa has richly-colored blooms in 4 colors and cream-striped variegated foliage. This 4- to 5-foot vining plant is just the right size to tumble from a hanging basket or twine up a small trellis or patio tub. It can even be allowed to trail along the ground, carpeting the garden in color. Both the blooms and the foliage are edible, with a delicious peppery flavor perfect for salads and garnishes. You will want to grow Jewel of Africa in the herb and vegetable garden, where it repels destructive pests such as aphids, beetles, whiteflies, and squash bugs. The heaviest flowering will usually occur in cool weather, but this annual loves sunshine. Select a sunny spot in any garden soil, even poor dry ones, and begin growing one of the most beautiful, useful, and rewarding annuals! Grown from seed in high quality soil.
