Lagenaria siceraria
The bottle gourd is also known as hue or calabash gourd.
Oh the things you can do with gourds! Make bowls, bird feeders, lampshades, vases, plant holders, art pieces or there are even musical instruments made from gourds (a guiro, maracas or a sitar).
But first you have to grow them.... Available in packs of 10 seeds.
The strike rate for the seeds is excellent (it's the same seed batch that we've used for our own gourd garden).

Shipping Note: If the address comes up as a Rural Delivery but only urban shipping has been paid we will send via NZ post snail mail. This does create a delay in receiving your seeds as we only send these orders off once a week plus the delay of the mail process on top of that. We do this as NZ Post Rural is $9.00 for the smallest sized parcel via courier. The NZ Post envelope with seeds costs between $3.70 to $4.20.
