Climbing vine grows beautiful flowers, beans and edible tubers. Ground nuts require two main things to succeed when cultivated: rich, moist soil (heavily mulched loam is best), and something to climb on. The structure can be built, much like the different trellises gardeners use for peas and beans (<em>Apios americana<\/em> is a bean, though the edible part is the tuber), or it can be another plant, a shrub or even a small tree. Best in stews or soups, it can also be fried or mixed with other tubers and mashed. The tuber is exceptionally nutritious, with a reported 17% protein content (three times what is found in potatoes). It also stores well. The twining herbaceous vine grows to 10&#8242; long. Light shade to full sun.
