And they are also deadly, if you happen to be a noxious insect!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Here's how this carnivorous plant works: the curled foliage holds water from rainfall and sprinklers in its base. The sides are naturally very slippery. The leaves release a sweet nectar aroma that certain insects cannot resist. They march in, slide down the slick leaves, and meet their doom in the standing water! Isn't Nature incredible?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  And there is so much more to Pitcher Plants than the novelty of their dining habits. These perennials are magnificently beautiful, with contrasting veins, elegant arching and sinuous forms, and even nodding blooms (think Fritillaria or Helleborus) on long stems held well above the leaves! Not all of the foliage forms pitchers -- some of it remains open to take advantage of photosynthesis. Often you will see outer leaves held wide like ears on the sides of the plant!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  This mix is incredibly varied, and if you and your neighbor each sow all the seeds, chances are you will have somewhat different looking results!

The rule of thumb is \"wet feet, dry ankles.\" This means that while this perennial thrives in boggy conditions, it also appreciates dry topsoil. Mulch it in well, keep the surface of the soil dry to normally moist, but make sure there is plenty of water beneath the soil line. For most of us with poor soil drainage, this is a godsend!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Pitcher Plants thrive in full sun to part shade, depending on species and climate.

It looks a little different from some of the others, being much shorter, with wider leaves. And although it still forms a shallow cup that traps insects, many of the leaves are open to take advantage of photosynthesis. The overall color is reddish purple, quite hairy and rough, with brilliant bright red to purple blooms on wiry maroon stems held above the plant and downturned, as if parachuting toward the rosette of foliage.

A prized British heirloom from the 1800s, 'Black Knight' was originally grown by Edmund Knight, Bishop of Shrewsbury. This handsome climbing vine is valued not only for bean production but also for ornamental purposes and can fit beautifully into an edible landscape. Selected from Scarlet Runner, 'Black Knight' sets loose clusters of scarlet-red pea-like buds along its vines that open into showy flowers. Masses of smooth, attractive solid black pods follow the flowers. Completely stringless and delicious when young, the pods are edible, if cooked, but should be picked early, before the seeds (beans) swell appreciably in the pods. Each pod contains 6 to 10 bright pink beans, which turn brown as they dry. The beans can be eaten fresh or dried. The flowers are also edible, having a bean-like flavor, and can be used in salads or as garnish. They are highly attractive to hummingbirds, butterflies, and bumble bees. \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eTypically grown as an annual, 'Black Knight', an herbaceous short-lived perennial (Zones 7-11), is a member of the legume family (Leguminosae or Fabaceae).

For the best yields, pick pods promptly, which encourages the plants to set more.
