Cucurbita pepo. The stem end of each of these 3"-wide, orange, green, cream and yellow gourds flaunts a contrasting flower pattern surrounding a long stem! Each one is totally unique. Display a fascinating group of them on a tabletop or scatter them among your larger gourds and pumpkins for a wonderful fall front porch display. Give these gourds lots of room to grow for the best results. (OP.)

Cucurbita pepo. Ornamental Gourds comprise our
Small Fruited Mixture. They require space to
ramble and hot, full sunlight. They are heavy
feeders: amend the soil as necessary with organic
fertilizer, compost and/or well-rotted manure. They
may be planted directly outside in rich, well-draining
soil and full to partial sunlight after the last
frost. Sow 3 to 5 seeds per hill, thinning to the two
strongest seedlings. Water regularly and mulch to
reduce weeds and retain ground moisture. Feed
regularly.
Harvest colorful, mature Small Fruited
Ornamental Gourds before the first fall frost. Allow
them to cure in a warm, dry room for 5 to 7 days.
Once cured, they may be shellacked for prolonged
decorative use.
