Edible ornamentals

Orange, yellow, cream, red, white, purplewelcome to the kaleidoscopic world of Marbles pepper. With so many colors coming from one plant, this hot pepper can actually act as a unifier in an annual border that is a motley rainbow mix of flowers.
The Gretel Eggplant produces 3 to 4-inch, ghostly pale fruits which would be an ideal addition to white gardens.
Red Okra is can have a visual impact in an ornamental garden. Okra is also closely related to hibiscus, and this connection can be seen in the pretty flowers that precede the edible pods.
The Fish Pepper has variegated white and green foliage with 2 to 3-inch long spicy peppers which start out with green and cream stripes which deepen to an interesting orange and brown combination that finally turns all red.
The Red Lightning Tomato is a bi-colored indeterminate tomato.
The Velour Bean is a pretty French filet bean and it is also a bush variety, meaning it wont ramble through the flower garden and bully other plants.
