Care instructions
New! Long pods, brick-red to brown seeds. Thrives in heat. Original seed said to have originated in Bisbee, Arizona, south of historic Tombstone and famed for its mines. There, a Native American shared seed with a Native Seeds/SEARCH member from Missouri. A little piece of Southwest history!

Sow 1 inch deep in full sun, when danger of frost is past. Soaking for 1-2 hours before planting speeds germination. Seeds will rot if soil is cold or very wet. Sow 6 inches apart.
