Treat a trellis as art
Anything but ordinary, this circular trellis is a sculpture you can walk through. In Sunset’s test garden, our “moon gate” entrance to veggie beds is also an ideal support for scarlet runner beans. Vine-covered or
bare, it makes a big statement. The rustproof steel hoop measures 80 inches across and comes in seven vivid colors (we chose
Kumquat). Each structure is handcrafted in Los Angeles by a sculpture and design studio. $840; terratrellis.com
Triple-duty beauty: We’re big fans of scarlet runner beans. The fast-growing vine (it covered our trellis in two months) pumps out gorgeous,
hummingbird-attractive blooms that develop into tasty young edible pods and shellable beans later.
Grow it: In spring, sow seeds 1 in. deep, 4 to 8 in. apart, in full sun. Provide poles or trellis for support.
