Bean Pole Rattlesnake is a visually distinctive heirloom pole bean celebrated for its striking bicolor pods and reliable productivity. The vigorous vines produce abundant green pods dramatically streaked and mottled with deep purple—a distinctive appearance that makes these beans instantly recognizable at harvest and on the plate. Culinarily, Rattlesnake beans deliver excellent flavor and texture. The pods are tender when harvested at the snap stage, with a mild, slightly sweet bean flavor and firm bite. They maintain their striking color contrast through light cooking, adding visual interest to fresh preparations, stir-fries, and composed dishes. At full maturity, the beans shell out to reveal cream-colored seeds with burgundy markings, making them equally attractive as dry beans for storage and winter cooking. The variety matures reliably in 65 to 70 days, enabling succession planting in most growing regions and ensuring consistent harvests throughout the season. Germination rates of 80% or better provide dependable stand establishment from the 50-seed packet. The tall, vigorous growth habit requires sturdy trellising but rewards with abundant yields and easy picking from well-spaced vines. These non-GMO seeds are produced sustainably and packaged in environmentally responsible, reusable, and recyclable materials—aligning with the values of gardeners committed to ecological stewardship. Ideal for growers seeking ornamental appeal, culinary versatility, and reliable performance in a single variety.
