Gourd Speckled Swan Seed
Cultivate unique Speckled Swan Gourds, a customer favorite, known for their gracefully curving necks that resemble a swan's head. The base, measuring 6 to 8 inches in diameter, features a flat bottom, making it ideal for display or crafting. These gourds boast a hard, emerald green shell speckled with lighter green. Once harvested and dried for three months, they are perfect for painting or carving. For best results, direct sow when soil temperatures reach 70 to 85°F and ensure vines have ample space or support to keep the gourds off the ground.
