What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.

You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.

Are your seeds treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

In what zones can I grow your seeds?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?

Our seeds will generally last for 3-10 years if they are appropriately stored in a cool, dry place. However, we encourage you to grow your survival seeds within a year or two of purchase. This yields the best germination rates possible and also gives you more experience growing survival food now. At the end of the growing season, follow the instructions on the back of each packet for saving seeds for future gardens. These new seeds for survival will be more adapted to thrive in the growing conditions where you are.
