Birdhouse Gourd Seeds

My favorite seed to grow, the birdhouse gourd, is an easy and rewarding vine that will look beautiful in any yard. Unlike the pumpkin, birdhouse gourd leaves and vines are velvety and more pest resistant than some of its relatives with thicker stems. Grow it on the ground or over trellis’ for that enchanting garden effect and enjoy the fun of having your very own collection of homegrown birdhouses. 

Each envelope is packaged by hand and contains roughly 25 seeds. Germination is not guaranteed, as with any seed. Please use within the year.
