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.
