Dolichos lablab 'Ruby Moon'

Plant details

Ruby Moon' is a fun mix of scented, sweet pea-like pink and white flowers, which are followed by large, dark purple to brown seed pods, all set against the green and purple-brown leaves. Very effective grown up pergolas, a trellis fixed to a wall, or over arches. Sow the seed in a frost-free greenhouse, and stand the young plants outside during the day, bringing them in at night, until they are acclimatised and the weather has warmed up.
