Description

Once properly cured, hard-shelled gourds, such as ‘Birdhouse’, can last for decades and can be painted, carved, cut, or drilled as you would do with wood, for hundreds of craft projects. ‘Birdhouse’ gourd of course makes a great birdhouse—leave natural or paint any color you want. Grow 10’–16′ vines on the ground or up a very sturdy trellis to produce mature gourds in 80 to 140 days. Also attracts hummingbirds!
