Purple Hyacinth Bean Seeds - Fast Growing Summer Crop That Attracts Pollinators
Lablab purpureus
Listing is for 1 packet of minimum 15 seeds
Hyacinth Bean (Lablab purpureus) is a stunning and heat-loving vining plant that thrives in hot climates and adds beauty and function to your garden. This fast-growing vine produces vibrant purple stems, deep green leaves, and striking lavender-pink flowers that pollinators—especially bees and butterflies—absolutely love. After flowering, it forms eye-catching, glossy purple bean pods that are edible when cooked properly (young pods can be steamed or stir-fried, while mature beans should be boiled thoroughly). Hyacinth beans are not only ornamental but also a resilient food crop that can handle summer heat when other legumes slow down. This is a vigorous vining crop. For best results, plant in full sun by a trellis or fence.

PLANTING
Germination: 5-10 days
Seed Sowing Depth: 1” deep
Sowing: Direct sow the seeds under a trellis or veritical support, after all danger of frost has passed.
Harvest: To harvest and use similar to snap beans, harvest the pods while they are tender, no more than 4 inches long, before the beans start to swell inside the pods. Or allow the pods to stay on the vines until they are completely dried out. Then shell out the beans and store them for later use.
Orders are shipped in 1-3 business days excluding holidays or delays due to natural disasters like hurricanes.
Seeds are shipped in bubble mailers so they will not be pushed through USPS roller machines which can damage the seeds. I will not ship seeds in an envelope for this reason.
Seeds will be shipped with no planting instructions to keep seed costs low to the buyer. Germination and plant care information is included in the description. I encourage each gardener to research specifics on how to be successful growing them. I also have lots of information on my TikTok, Instagram and YouTube channel all under the account name jerrasgarden. I started this shop to share my love of certain seed varieties and spread the knowledge of gardening. Please contact me if you can't find information or have additional questions.
Orders with live plants are packed on Mondays and Thursdays (excluding holidays or delays because of natural disasters. Plants are shipped in boxes with packaging material to protect them while they are in transit.
No returns or refunds once shipped. I am not responsible for lost or damaged packages caused by USPS. Since there are so many factors that affect germination and growing success, no refunds or exchanges are allowed once seeds have shipped. These are the same seeds I use in my personal garden so I can attest to their viability. Seeds are fresh season to season.
