Blue Speckled Tepary Beans

This is a rare bean we've had in our bean collection for some time. After finding out some creature has eaten our squash seeds that had sprouted, I've decided to start some Tepary Beans in its place.

These are small tan seeds with bluish-speckles. Highly adapted for drier climates. It's a fast grower and adapts easily. Considered to have been cultivated by Mexican Indians more than 5,000 years ago and was found in Europe in in the late 1800s. (Phaseolus acutifolius)
