Description
Fruit
Sets the typical sausage-shaped purple pods only alongside a second, genetically distinct clone; sweet, jelly-like pulp.
Growth
Slightly less vigorous than the species due to reduced chlorophyll; semi-evergreen twining climber.
Notes
Grown chiefly for its foliage. Self-sterile: plant a second genotype for fruit set.
