About This

• Exceptional Growth - Bottle Gourd, also known as Calabash or Birdhouse gourd, has a unique, fast-growing vine that reaches 10-20 feet long and produces high yields of smooth fruits. It is heat-tolerant, prolific, and suitable for both ground and trellis cultivation. We suggest providing support for more uniformly shaped gourds that are protected from rot.
• Versatile Use - Bottle Gourds are widely used in a variety of cuisines, particularly in Indian and Chinese dishes. When dried, they can be used for crafts, especially in making drinking vessels or birdhouses for the purple martin and other cavity nesting birds.
• Sustainable Living - Cultivating Bottle Gourd in your outdoor garden contributes to sustainable living by providing food, crafting materials, and habitat for birds to nest in. Calabash is especially attractive to bees and moths that aid in the pollination and contribute to the overall ecosystem of your garden.
• The Info You Need to Grow - Seeds are packed in a beautiful paper packet with instructions for successful growing and germination in your home garden. Also includes instructions for saving seeds after harvest.
• Small American Family-Owned Business - We’re dedicated to providing fresh, high-quality Gourd seeds for planting now or future seasons. We sell only safe, non-hybrid non-GMO heirloom seeds that are open-pollinated and untreated.
