Vigorous Growth - Ruby Moon vines grow vigorously, reaching heights of 10 to 15 feet, adorned with striking violet-colored flowers that develop into glossy, deep-purple pods containing small black seeds. The contrast of dark purple stems and veins against lush green foliage adds to its ornamental appeal. Ornamental Appeal - While some regions cultivate hyacinth bean vines for food, we recommend Ruby Moon specifically for ornamental purposes due to the poisonous nature of its seeds and pods at certain stages. It makes a stunning addition to trellises, fences, and poles, enhancing gardens with its beauty. Climate Considerations - As a perennial in zones 9-10, Ruby Moon remains a long-lasting feature in suitable climates, while elsewhere it is grown as an annual. Its blooming period from mid-summer through fall ensures a vibrant display during the warmer months.

We specialize exclusively in open-pollinated and heirloom vegetable seeds, treasured for their superior flavor & seed saving value, owing to their long history of pure pollination. With our quality seeds, you can be confident that you are getting safe, reliable vegetable seeds for planting in your home garden. Convenient Packaging - Our durable seed packets protect your vegetable seeds from light and moisture, extending the survival of the seeds by years. Their resealable zipper tops also make for convenient storage and planting. Just a couple of the many reasons why our heirloom seed packets are a must-have for garden seed collections and preparedness seed vaults. Ruby Moon's vigorous, 10 to 15-foot vines produce an abundance of beautiful, violet-colored flowers that mature into glossy, deep-purple pods filled with small, black seeds.
