What you need to know to Plant & Grow Rattlesnake Pole Bean
The growth requirements for pole beans are mostly the same as bush beans, with one main difference: they need vertical support.
- Planting: Sow seeds after the last frost date in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Germination occurs in approximately 10 days.
- Care: Grow on trellises, open weave fencing, or on bamboo or pole teepees. Ensure temporary structures are securely anchored to prevent collapse during the growing season. Make sure to provide supplemental watering during periods of dry weather.
