Siphon or Dipper Gourd Seeds AE20235121

Long-necked gourds for a variety of uses

Days to Maturity: 125 from direct sow

Widely used in the past as water dippers and siphons, these rounded, long-necked gourds are a comfortable shape for a wide variety of crafts and ornamentation projects, from birdhouses to dried winter arrangements. And you should have plenty of fruit to practice with—they arise so plentifully on easy-care vines that a single plant should supply several dozen gourds in late summer or early fall.

To obtain a variety of sizes and shapes, harvest some of these Lagenaria gourds when tiny and let other reach maximum size.

Sow seeds directly in full sun after the soil has warmed. Train the vine onto a trellis or fence to save space and to produce neater, more rounded shapes.
