Hyacinth beans

Question

I inherited a small bag of what is marked, “Hyacinth bean” dated 1999. Are these too old to grow? Is there anything I can do to encourage growth?

Answer 1

There is a good chance that your seeds are quite viable.

Heirloom seeds, or seeds passed down are wonderful to garden with.
