Lilac Blooms, Red Stems, and Ruby-Purple Beans!
Hyacinth Bean
10-foot twining vine blooms all summer!
3-inch pods are brilliantly colored.
A beautiful twining legume, this entire plant is ornamental -- the deep red stems and glossy veiny foliage bear an airy cascade of delicate, inch-long lilac-rose blossoms. Ruby-purple beanpods, 3 inches long, arise beneath the flowers over a long season. For a colorful ornamental display, Hyacinth Bean is unsurpassed!
The blooms arise all summer, and the beans mature in 80 days from a spring sowing in full sun. Give this plant something to climb and watch it take off! It reaches 10 feet tall. Pkt is 25 seeds.

Love it! It grows fast and is beautiful. The flowers are amazing and the purple beans were a delightful surprise. I purchased for a new trellis and it covered it very easily
