Dolichos Plants
Dolichos plants are vigorous ornamental climbers valued for their colourful flowers, lush foliage, and striking decorative pods. Varieties such as Dolichos lablab ‘Ruby Moon’ create dramatic vertical displays with burgundy-toned leaves, pink-purple blooms, and glossy purple pods. Also known as hyacinth bean, Dolichos lablab is well suited to trellises, fences, pergolas, garden arches, balcony containers, and large patio planters. These fast-growing climbing plants add height, seasonal privacy, and rich colour to outdoor spaces while helping transform plain structures into vibrant garden features. Dolichos plants are an excellent choice for cottage gardens, urban landscapes, pollinator-friendly plantings, and decorative container arrangements across Canada. Their twining habit makes them especially useful for creating lush screens and eye-catching focal points during the warm growing season. Some varieties are also known for edible beans, although consumption depends on proper identification and preparation. Explore our selection of Dolichos plants and distinctive climbing varieties to bring bold texture, colour, and vertical interest to your garden, balcony, or patio. Browse the collection and find the right Dolichos for your outdoor space.
