The Hyacinth Bean Vine Ruby Moon, 'Dolichos lablab', has purple to white flower clusters followed by eye-catching purple bean pods that make Ruby Moon a very unique addition to your garden. The Bean Vine Ruby Moon provides color all summer long whether from the purple, velvety bean pods, purple and white flowers, or the beautiful foliage. The 1 inch flowers are displayed in loose clusters. They bloom in summer followed by the pods in late summer.
Ruby Moons prefer full sun and ordinary garden soil that must be well drained. They are grown just like a pole bean, so support with a wire or trellis must be provided. Plant in the spring after the last average frost date. Ruby Moon Bean Vines are used for quick screens, hanging baskets, or as a ground cover.
