I love growing unusual and interesting things and am teaching my son to love it too. I have a tiny mostly potted garden in Newcastle NSW.

The flowers are difficult to "set" at times. You also get better years than others @KathyB

@debs69 I think I just have the wrong climate. I've tried for a few years with no beans. But it's ok. The flowers are pretty.

Are they available to buy in the shop as they look beautiful and of course will they grow in South Australia

@caralyn they grow in the UK so I'd think they'd grow for u. I've never seen seedlings but the seeds are local. Diggers has them. Green Harvest too.

Apparently it will behave as a perennial here. Flowered beautifully all Summer but very few beans. Reshooting now after a hard prune last week.

@latebloomer I gave it some Blood and Bone the week before I pruned then top-dressed the bed with compost & chicken manure then mulch. Hopefully I'll get some beans. While the flowers were lovely I'm really keen to get a good crop!! :)

@latebloomer Where abouts are you? I'm super jealous!! and am hoping you live somewhere cooler to explain the difference ;) (I read that they need cool nights to set). And yes the bees just love the beans don't they? That was another reason I left it despite the lack of crop.
