Stawta Pawi
Phaseolus acutifolius. O'odham legend says the Milky Way is made up of white tepary beans scattered across the sky. These early-maturing white beans came from the Tohono O'odham Reservation in southern Arizona. Smooth, rich flavor. Seed variety originally collected in 1977. From our Seed Bank Collection.
- Warm season planting
- Origin: Low Desert, about 2500' elevation
- Habit: some twining but not a vigorous climber
- 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.
