Like other legumes, it’s a potent nitrogen fixer that helps to enrich garden soil. Hyacinth bean (lablab bean) is a pole bean cultivar in the Fabaceae family of legumes. Lablab beans probably originated from India.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"hyacinth-bean-seeds-05234","title":"Hyacinth Bean Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThomas Jefferson popularized the Hyacinth Bean in the United States when he began growing it in his garden in 1804. (One of the plantsmen he dealt with brought it from Europe, though it is originally native to Africa.) It is still grown at Monticello today.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAlthough the beans are edible, they must be cooked a particular way, so it is \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003enot\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e recommended for eating. Instead, harvest the seedpods right before first frost, and share the seeds with friends. And of course, because Hyacinth Bean is a legume, the plant is a nitrogen-fixer, invaluable in the garden. Chop it up and till it back into the soil at season's end to improve next year's garden.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDirect sow Hyacinth Bean if possible, waiting until the soil is reasonably warm in spring. Or, if your season is short, begin it indoors, but transplant the seedling as quickly as possible once temperatures are above freezing and the soil has started to warm. This is an annual bean, easy to grow and beautiful over a very long season. You will be so glad you tried it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"parkseed","offers":[{"title":"Pkt of 25 seeds","offer_id":42354624495675,"sku":"05234-PK-P1","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pkt of 100 seeds","offer_id":42354624528443,"sku":"05234-PK-100","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/8580\/4859\/files\/Product_MediaImage_05234_1.jpg?v=1753891854"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.parkseed.mom\/collections\/hyacinth-beans.oembed","provider":"Park Seed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
