110 days, Purple vines, leaves, flowers, and pods, said to all be edible but once the seeds dry they contain cyanide precursors and need cooking in several changes of water. We found even the shell stage bitter. 6-8' vine, keeps flowering and ripening until frost. Very ornamental. 1x2" bright purple pointy flat pods with black white-bordered seeds. 2011 seed Bought from Monticello VA
