Hiacynth Bean Soil

What type of soil do hiacynth bean prefer. I'm potting some this year. Would they like M.G. or prefer something not so rich. I just stuck some in the ground one year and they were beautiful, but want to pot them this year so I thought I'd get your opinion on soil.

Thanks,

Karen

Any coarse textured, well draining potting medium would be appropriate. You could cut MG or something like it in half with bark soil conditioner (bark fines) and your plants would love it.
