**Dormancy Note - This plant is currently dormant for the winter! It is available for purchase! Your delivered plant may be dormant, or showing very little top growth. However, you can still plant! These plants are putting all their energy into root production, so they will be ready to thrive in the spring! If you have any issues with your plant the following peak season, you can fill out our return request form to request a replacement plant.

Sword Bean is a vigorous climbing perennial with self twinning wood stems and large dark green trifoliate foliage.  The soft purple flowers bloom from late spring through summer, and are followed by huge edible beans.  Blooms best in full sun and well-drained soil.  Drought tolerant once established.

*Though the young seedpods are edible fresh, mature seeds need to be boiled first.
