Hyacinth Bean, Ruby Moon

Striking dark-violet colored stems, leaf veins and pods with beautiful lilac-colored blossoms that are held out above the foliage on long straight stems. The entire plant is purple! Hyacinth Bean seed pods and beans are poisonous at certain stages! In Asia and Africa, hyacinth beans are grown for food and can be eaten if prepared properly. We do not recommend growing for food, but rather as an ornamental. Can grow 10-15' if given adequate support. (Annual)
