Cocopah Brown

Phaseolus acutifolius.  Early-maturing tepary bean. Medium-sized flattened orange-tan and orange speckled beans originating from along the lower Colorado River in Sonora.  From our Seed-Bank Collection. Warm season planting Origin: Low Desert 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.
