Hyacinth Bean Vine

Gardening Tips: Days of Vines and Roses
If you’re looking for a great trellis on which to grow an
annual vine, consider a sturdy, well-established climbing
rose. The thorny canes provide excellent support, and won’t
mind a little competition. Since the vines will come into
their glory later in the season, they’ll add color to a rose
that has finished its main flush of bloom. But any overlap
will produce handsome combinations as well: Hyacinth Bean or
Sweet Peas with a pale pink New Dawn rose, or blue Morning
Glories with your favorite yellow-flowered climber. |

#7420 Moon Shadow Hyacinth Bean Vine
Dolichos lablab. Originally a native of tropical Asia, this improved, easy-to-grow climbing annual quickly scrambles up any support to create a beautiful screen of attractive, dark green foliage and intense, deep purple flowers. Moon Shadow's distinctive blooms are about 1 1/2" long and resemble pea or bean flowers. Once its long-lasting blossoms have gone by, you will be rewarded with a second show of glimmering, royal purple, 4" seed pods. It prefers to be sown directly outside after any danger of frost is past. A vigorous twining vine, it must have solid support from a trellis, fence or secure netting. Annual. Summer to fall flowering. Height: 8' to 10'.
