Native to North America, the Rattlesnake climbing bean has earned a prominent place in vegetable gardens for its long, green pods streaked with purple. In a thriving garden, it quickly grows tall, twining steadily around its supports to form a nourishing curtain that peacefully accompanies the cycle of the seasons.

Its beautifully mottled, drooping pods immediately stand out in the privacy of the vegetable garden. Harvested young like string beans, they offer a generous contribution to the kitchen; left to mature, they yield flavorful dried beans. This is a reliable, productive, and adaptable variety that integrates naturally into a diverse growing environment, where each plant participates in a harmonious relationship with the soil, wildlife, and the gardener.
