Purple hyacinth beans

15 seeds per packet.

Purple Hyacinth Beans are a stunning and versatile heirloom plant, prized for both their ornamental beauty and edible uses. With vibrant, deep-purple pods, twining vines, and eye-catching lilac-pink flowers, this fast-growing climber brings dramatic color to trellises, fences, and garden arches.

Native to Africa and widely grown in Asia, this drought-tolerant legume is cultivated for its young pods, tender leaves, flowers, and seeds. When cooked properly (as raw mature seeds can be toxic), the beans are a flavorful addition to curries, stir-fries, and stews. The plant is also rich in protein, fiber, iron, and other essential nutrients.

Aside from its culinary and nutritional value, Purple Hyacinth Bean is a favorite among pollinators and beneficial insects, making it a beautiful and beneficial companion in any garden.
