    I want to grow garbanzo beans in my garden. Finding local seeds was difficult, so I purchased from a bulk food store and tested for germination by placing between layers of a damp tissue. Germination was 100% in three days. So bulk food beans will be used for seed. Garbanzo beans are also known as chickpeas.

    It seems you need to query the botanical name, Cicer arietinum, to see photos of the plant. I like the information presented on this website:
    Cicer arietinum (chick-pea): Go Botany,
    including where it is found in North America. It escapes cultivation, according to that page, but they don't mention if it's problematical.
