Hyacinth Bean Vine is a a fast growing, flowering vine, with pretty purple flowers. If you're looking for an annual flowering vine that grows at a stellar pace, the Hyacinth Bean Vine is for you. It grows 10' - 15' in a single season!


Hyacinth Bean Vine is easy to grow. Flowers bloom from summer through fall in purple and some white colors. Butterflies are attracted to the bright blooms.


As a flowering vine, they need some type of support to climb. A trellis or fence works well. The support should be big enough to support ten to fifteen feet of vine growth.

Plant Height: 8 - 15 feet, not too bad for an annual!!

Plants will begin to bloom in summer, and continue to do so into the fall. After the flowers bloom, purple pods will begin to form. They grow up to three inches. Hyacinth Bean Vine are good "re-seeders". If the pods are allowed to open and pour out their beans, you will find many new plants next year.

You can vine both on a fence to add height. They don't get as high if you don't vine them. Hyacinth Bean and Sweet Pea both have the same purple flowers. However the hyacinth bean leaves are a little more defined with the purple pods. Sweet pea has green pods. Both are pretty. I don't list the Sweet Pea but I have many things I don't list. If you want Sweet Pea, let me know and I can list it.
