🫘 Hyacinth Bean
🫘 Botanical Name: Lablab purpureus
🫘 Type: Tender Annual (in cool climates) / Short-Lived Perennial (in warm climates)

Hyacinth Bean is a striking ornamental climber grown for its deep purple stems, lush green-purple foliage, and fragrant, pea-like flowers in shades of rose to violet. The blooms are followed by glossy, purple bean pods, making this fast-growing vine a showstopper in vertical gardens. Ideal for arches, trellises, fences, and obelisks, it delivers lush growth and vibrant colour throughout the summer. Loved by pollinators, and perfect for adding exotic flair.

Note: While beautiful, mature seeds and pods are not edible unless properly prepared and can be toxic if eaten raw.
