5 Seeds Dolichos lablab Red Leaved Hyacinth Bean Vine Ornamental Climbing Vine

Dolichos lablab, commonly known as the hyacinth bean, is a vigorous climbing vine grown for its striking ornamental value in the garden. The red-leaved selection is particularly admired for its deep purple-tinged foliage, which contrasts beautifully with the bright magenta-pink blossoms that appear through the warm season.
This vine is a popular choice for covering trellises, arbors, fences, and pergolas, where its rapid growth and colorful display can be fully appreciated. The flowers are followed by glossy purple seed pods that add further visual interest.
