Apios americana
Groundnut
2-2.5 quart
Groundnut is a twining vine with attractive pink-maroon flowers and a relaxed, natural habit. It prefers moist, fertile soils and partial to full sun, weaving gently through neighboring plants or along supports.
Its flowers attract native bees, while the plant itself fixes nitrogen, improving soil health. Historically, its edible tubers were an important food source, and today it remains a unique addition to edible and ecological gardens alike.
