Notes

'Rattlesnake Pole Bean' (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Rattlesnake Pole Bean') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun. The vines climb to about 120 inches, so give them a tall trellis or pole. Butterflies and bees visit the plant, and you can pick the beans to eat.

Pairs well with Habanero habanero pepper, Cherry Belle radish, and Kent Beauty oregano.
