Gourd Seeds - Birdhouse Bottle

Lagenaria siceraria HEIRLOOM. Bottle gourds, also known as birdhouse gourds or calabash, are known for their rounded shape, which makes them perfect for making containers, large scoops, musical instruments, and of course, whimsically-shaped birdhouses.  These seeds can be direct sown or started indoors and transplanted. Wait to plant outside until all danger of frost has passed, and choose a location with full sun and well drained soil. For best results, provide a sturdy trellis. Gourds will begin to mature about 120 days after seeding. 2.8 gram packet contains approximately 14 seeds.
