They have been known to produce a crop from a single storm runoff. Extremely drought tolerant. These beans are mostly pale tan and slightly mottled.  Very productive at our Conservation Farm in Patagonia, AZ.  From our Seed-Bank Collection.

Very happy with Lettuce Mix

Very happy with seeds, service, prompt receipt of seeds. I had some seeds fail to germinate but that was user error. I have not yet received pinacate seeds.

Pinacate Beans

I planted the pinacate beans as soon as I received them, and they germinated well. I wanted to experiment with native plants, planted outdoors without benefit of any planter boxes, nor organics, save worm castings. The germination was a success for the most part, and they appear to be thriving here in Cochise County, (elevation approx 4500 ft). Will amend this review after harvest.

Failed

Planted several places in the desert that showed good signs of receiving moisture during monsoon. Soul preparation consisted of poking hole 1/2 inch deep and covering seed. Have not returned to see if the sprouted. In the yard plantings did not work as rabbits got into garden. I will keep trying.
