Looking for a unique and show-stopping addition to your garden? Look no further than this giant round gourd! With endless creative possibilities, this massive gourd is ideal for crafting and creating. The fruit is thick-walled and can grow to an enormous size of 18-24 inches on extraordinarily long vines that span up to 140 days to harvest.
And if you're feeling especially adventurous, you can even dry the gourd and make it into a musical instrument!
To grow this gourd, provide full sun and keep the temperature between 75-90 degrees F. Sprouts should emerge in 3-10 days. Once established, space the plants 36 inches apart. And while this gourd isn't frost-hardy, it can be picked after the first frost and then dried indoors or outdoors under cover.
For the best results, trellising is suitable. Provide ample moisture and rich soil, and give the gourd plenty of heat. With a little TLC, you'll be rewarded with a giant, impressive gourd that's perfect for crafting and creating.
