Rattlesnake bean pods can grow up to 8 inches long. The seeds inside start out creamy white and darken as they age, developing sepia and dark brown patterns. The plant is also called Preacher bean because it grows so well it gives you something to preach about!

This variety of bean is drought resistant and perfect for sandy soils. Flavor-wise, Rattlesnake bean pods are crisp and snappy and the seeds are meaty, holding their shape when cooked in soups and stews.
When growing these beans, choose a location where they will have plenty of room, as the vines can get up to 10 feet long. Plant seeds after all danger of frost has passed. Push them an inch into soil and 2 inches apart. Provide some sort of support for the vines as they grow and keep the plants moderately moist.
