How to grow Hyacinth Bean Vine: Many gardeners recommend nicking the Hyacinth Bean seeds with a knife and then soaking the flower seed in water for 8 to 10 hours before sowing. I just soak mine for about 24 hours and plant them in a very sunny spot. Planting Hyacinth Bean seeds can be sown directly outside once danger of frost has passed. It typically blooms from mid-summer to fall.

The vine can be a perennial in frost-free climate zones; however, in other zones it grows as an annual climbing vine.

The vine does not need much watering once it is established. I usually water mine once a week if there was no rain that week.
