Hard-Shell Gourd Seeds

Grow hard-shell gourd seeds for large, thick-walled gourds that dry hard enough to carve, paint, and craft. Choose shapes suited to birdhouses, dippers, bowls, and decorative pieces. Vigorous vines need a long, warm growing season and plenty of room or a sturdy trellis. Let gourds mature on the vine, then cure them in a dry, airy spot before crafting.

Our Selection

  • Thick-walled gourds dry hard for birdhouses, dippers, and bowls
  • Vigorous vines need a long, warm season and room to sprawl
