A vigorous heirloom pole bean prized for its exceptional flavor whether fresh, shelled, or dry. The eight-inch-long pods of Organic Rattlesnake Beans are round, dark green, and strikingly streaked with purple, which fades when cooked. Dried beans are beige with distinctive rattlesnake-like markings, making this variety a favorite for farmers markets, roadside stands and the rest of us who love a bit of whimsy in the garden.
