Description

A vibrant twist on a beloved classic, Painted Pinto offers exceptional productivity and flavor with striking beauty to match. Bushy plants reach about 18–24 inches tall and produce heavy clusters of plump pods filled with beans marbled in tan, rose, and brown—each seed a unique canvas of natural color.

When cooked, the beans turn a rich beige and develop a creamy, earthy flavor with a slightly nutty sweetness. Perfect for refried beans, soups, and chili, they absorb seasonings beautifully and maintain their velvety texture even after long simmering.

Descended from heirloom pinto lines cultivated across the Americas for centuries, Painted Pinto combines traditional reliability with visual flair. It’s a favorite among gardeners who value high yield, adaptability, and the artistry of heritage seed varieties.
