Leather pea, also known as Egyptian Dolique or Dolique Lablab. A magnificent annual climbing plant requiring support for its lush vegetation. Beautiful purple foliage against which its mauve flowers stand out, then forming beautiful flat, dark purple pods with a coppery sheen, hence its name 'leather' pea.

Please note that the pods and seeds must be cooked for a long time in two waters before being consumed in order to lose all toxicity. Sowing: from April to June. Harvest: from July to September.
