Tepari Blue Bean (Phaseolus acutifolius)

Blue Specked Tepari Bean (Phaseolus acutifolius) : Tepari beans are an ancient desert bean variety, resistant to plant diseases and especially drought. They are early-growing, ready in 60 days from transplanting. The plant has a bushy habit, reaching 60 cm in height. Like most low-water species, the seeds are small but extremely flavorful, a beautiful light gray color speckled with blue. Rich in protein and fiber, they are an important and rare variety. Excellent for those growing in drought-prone areas or for a low-water garden, they are a bean variety that can be grown dry, meaning without irrigation.
