Pinto bean, (botanical name Phaseolus vulgaris), is a popular Mexican bean that grows on an upright bush with half runners. Usually grown as a high-quality dry shell bean with a long shelf life, but also tasty when picked early as a snap bean. Perfect for chili, these beans are also wonderful in a variety of hearty dishes, with a full-bodied flavor that stands up to strong spices. Pinto bean plants thrive under full sun and mature into an easy-to-harvest bush. Feel secure planning your garden with these high-yielding seeds, knowing they're a reliable, resilient choice for your outdoor horticultural project.

• Pinto Bean is a tough, versatile bush bean variety with good drought and heat tolerance, well-suited for areas with dry or hot summers. This low-maintenance annual also performs well in a wide variety of climates, thriving in US hardiness zone 3-10. The bush is easy to harvest, and like all legumes, will fix nitrogen from the air for improved soil quality.
• Impressive Yield - Pinto Beans are also known as Peruano beans or mottled beans. The bushy plants have high germination rates and yield an abundance of speckled brown beans. These versatile beans are common in Mexican and Southwestern cuisine and are often used for refried beans, chili, soups, and stews. They can also be picked early and eaten as a snap bean.
