Santa Rosa White
Phaseolus acutifolius. Collected in 1983 from a farmer at the Tohono O'odham village of Santa Rosa, northwest of Sells. White seeds. Very drought-hardy, as are all tepary beans. From our Seed Bank Collection.
- Warm season planting
- Origin: low desert, about 1700' elevation
- Approx. 7g/50 seeds per packet.
- Limit 3 packets
*Tepary beans grow best in hot, dry regions with minimal water or irrigation. Overwatering (in any climate) will cause the plants to look very leafy and healthy, but they'll produce few, if any beans. If grown out of region, which is the desert Southwest, results may vary.
