Notes
'Moonshadow Hyacinth Bean' hyacinth bean (Lablab purpureus 'Moonshadow Hyacinth Bean') is a vine for borders, containers, and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual.

It climbs to about 180 inches and bears fragrant blooms that attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It also tolerates drought, so it is easy to look after.
Pairs well with Button flower, Sungold tomato, and Lemon basil.
