Lagenaria siceraria is an annual cucurbit climber with large white flowers that open at night.
Botanical characteristics
Mature fruits develop hard shells that can be dried for decorative objects or vessels. This shell formation distinguishes mature ornamental use from the soft young fruit stage; bottle gourds are not simply miniature pumpkins.
Fruit shape and the mature shell
For resellers, Birdhouse bottle, Dipper gourd and mixed forms distinguish named shapes from a mixed-form reference. The fruit-form designation is the starting point for comparing this bulk seed range.
