Bean Seeds - Rattlesnake

Rattlesnake bean seeds produce vigorous warm-season plants with a climbing growth habit. Plants develop long, twining vines that require trellising, poles, or fencing for proper support. This variety performs well in warm to temperate climates and is suitable for garden beds and open planting areas with vertical growing space. Rattlesnake beans adapt to a range of soil conditions when drainage is adequate and benefit from full sun and consistent moisture throughout the growing season.
