We have not planted Anasazi beans before, but upon doing a little research there is a rich history behind this bean variety.
It’s best known for thriving in the Four Corners area of the Southwest U.S., but given its relatively short growing season it can be planted just about anywhere. You will want to wait to plant your seeds until the soil reaches at least 60°F because they will not do well in colder soil. Plant at a depth of 1/2 inch in loose, well-draining soil and cover lightly. Keep the soil reasonably moist until seedlings emerge.
It is a good idea to place a trellis next to your planting area or plant near a fence so your plants have support.
