Decaisnea Fargesii

Don’t let this Blue Bean Shrub’s alternative name, Dead Man’s Fingers, put you off giving it a place in your cottage or exotic garden. The title derives from the bean-like fruits which hang in eerie clusters of three in the summer, although their flesh is considerably sweeter than the image of a corpse suggests! These fruits are preceded by yellow-green flowers, which appear in May, hang in long panicles and exude a delicious fragrance after dusk. The hardy shrub’s attractive, green foliage completes the package, making it an excellent specimen plant. Alternatively, Decaisnea Fargesii is an unusual addition to sunny or partially shady borders and patio containers. Height: 6m (19’8); Spread: 6m (19’8).
