I grew this a couple of years and it was a very beautiful plant - long purple stems, graceful purple-veined leaves. But eating-wise there just wasn't much substance or flavor to it for me. The plant is mostly rather tough stem with very little leaf. Not much to eat for the square footage it takes up. It was very quick-growing and easy though.
