I got the first seed for this plant from a friend at work. The seeds were so pretty that I was tempted to make jewelry from them. They are very hard when dry but actually eatable before the pods dry out. Those pods are bright purple and the flowers a beautiful bright lavender. It blooms all summer in clusters that resemble a Hyacinth flower - hence the name. The first hard frost will kill the vine but I gather the seeds and start over every year. I plant them early in my greenhouse so I can sell some plants too. You can plant them straight in the ground after danger of frost is past.
I have seeds for sale if you would like to grow your own Purple Hyacinth vine. Get them here.
