Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @uvray. It's fantastic to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about beans.

It's great to see that @gore has provided helpful information. I've had a look through our supplier's extended range and can't find them. The closest appears to be Scarlet Runner.

Let me mention one of our experienced horticulturalists, @Noelle, to see if she's seen this variety around.

Thank you. It’s also called hyacinth bean, if that helps.

Hi @uvray @gore and @MitchellMc

This species orf dolichos is not on the Australian weeds lists but other dolichos are.

Seeds of lablab can be found online at Ole Lantana's Seed Store https://www.olelantanaseeds.com.au/product/dolichos-lablab-hyacinth-lablab-indian-bean-x-10/

This business is based in Toowoomba (Qld) I have no personal knowledge of either the bean nor the company selling it - do your homework!

Thank you. I’ll check it out and post an update.
