Details
Give this plant something to climb and watch it take off! Dolichos lablab is a beautiful twining legume. This entire plant is ornamental -- the deep red stems and glossy veiny foliage bear an airy cascade of delicate, inch-long lilac-rose blossoms. Ruby-purple beanpods, 3 inches long, arise beneath the flowers over a long season. For a colorful ornamental display, Hyacinth Bean is unsurpassed!
