No. This is a decorative plant. This link has info about the plant and does state that some people use the bean for food but only after cooking to remove the poison. http://utgardens.tennessee.edu/pom/Sept08PHyacinthBean.html

Hi can these grow in the winter

I wouldn't think you would want to try this indoors. It grows very rapidly in the summer outdoors and reached about 6 foot tall and 3 foot around by the middle of summer. I started my seeds indoors about a month before the weather warmed up.
