How Do You Grow Hyacinth Beans

Plant when temperatures warm in the spring and nights are above 50℉. Plant hyacinth bean seeds 1 inch deep and 6 inches apart. Soak seeds for 6-8 hours before planting to speed germination. If the weather gets too cold, the plants will slow or stop growing until temperatures warm.

Do hyacinth beans come back every year?

While they can be grown as perennials in USDA Hardiness Zones 10-11, most modern-day gardeners in the US tend to grow hyacinth beans as an annual. Once they’re established, though, they’ll readily self-seed.
