Description: AKAHANA FUJIMAME Japanese Magenta Flower Hyacinth Bean Seeds 赤花ふじ豆. AKAHANA FUJIMAME Japanese Magenta Flower Hyacinth Bean Seeds; Lablab purpureus 赤花ふじ豆 Kitazawa Seed #206Hyacinth bean is a tropical plant and likes warm climate. This variety is a beautiful green-leafed climber with magenta flowers. It is a popular variety with edible pods that are flat, thick and curved. Also widely grown as an ornamental plant in the garden. Wonderful edition to the edible landscape.Germination rate 75%; tested 06/2021.Some Growing Tips: - Direct sowing after last frost, or start seeds indoor three weeks before the last frost. Soak the seeds overnight first. If indoor temperature is 70F or higher, seeds should germinate within 2 weeks. I use heating mat and grow light to speed up germination and ensure healthy seedling growth.- Prefer full sun; fertile well drained soil; space seedlings 6-12" apart; rows 3' apart. Or space them out in small hills/mounds, each hill should be 18" wide and 12" deep, with four seedlings planted per hill. You can also sow 8-12 seeds per hill and thin them out later. Crowded vines actually yield lesser harvest.- The vine is vigorous and needs to be supported via fence, trellis, arbor, teepee, meshed wire, cattle panel..etc. One year I had few vines climbed up the Dawn Redwood tree and the tree is dotted with hyacinth bean flowers even at 12' tree top level.- Pods harvest begin about 75 days after transplant. A popular recipe is riblet stew, add hyacinth beans later and simmer it for 20 minutes.
