Lilac blooms, red stems, and ruby-purple beans bloom all summer A beautiful twining legume, this entire plant is ornamental—the deep red stems and glossy veiny foliage bear an airy cascade of delicate, inch-long lilac-rose blossoms. Ruby-purple beanpods, 3 inches long, arise beneath the flowers over a long season. For a colorful ornamental display, Hyacinth Bean is unsurpassed. The blooms arise all summer, and the beans mature in 80 days from a spring sowing in full sun. Give this plant something to climb and watch it take off. It reaches 10 feet tall. Thomas Jefferson popularized the Hyacinth Bean in the United States when he began growing it in his garden in 1804. (One of the plantsmen he dealt with brought it from Europe, though it is originally native to Africa.) It is still grown at Monticello today. Although the beans are edible, they must be cooked a particular way, so it is not recommended for eating. Instead, harvest the seedpods right before first frost, and share the seeds with friends. And of course, because Hyacinth Bean is a legume, the plant is a nitrogen-fixer, invaluable in the garden. Chop it up and till it back into the soil at season's end to improve next year's garden.

Lemon verbena - botanically Aloysia citriodora - is a small woody shrub that has intensely fragrant leaves - these leaves can be used in many different ways - a cup of tea - a simple syrup - Grown in a pot, this fragrant beauty will maintain a tidy size. In the ground, it forms a luxuriously lemony shrub. some years ago I had dinner where a lemon verbena cream pie was served. It was delicious. These are NOT WINTER HARDY in the Russellville area so it should be brought inside in the winter.
