Botanical Characteristics The "Decorative Gourd Mix" includes a diverse collection of small to medium-sized gourds, featuring an array of shapes, colors, and textures. This mix may contain varieties such as daisy gourds, goblin egg gourd, winged gourds, warted gourds, and other ornamental types. The gourds in this mix are known for their vibrant hues ranging from greens and yellows to oranges and whites, often with unique patterns or speckles. They are primarily grown for decorative purposes and are perfect for autumnal displays, crafts, and seasonal decorations. Growing Conditions The gourds in this mix thrive in full sun and require well-drained, fertile soil. They are warm-weather crops and need a long growing season to fully develop. These gourds can be grown on the ground or trained along trellises for space-saving growth and improved air circulation. Sowing and Care Sow the seeds of the "Decorative Gourd Mix" directly into the garden after the last frost, planting them about 1 inch deep. Space plants about 24-36 inches apart to accommodate their sprawling habit. Regular watering is important, especially during dry spells and as the gourds develop. Mulching can help retain soil moisture and control weeds. Harvesting Harvest the gourds when the rinds harden and the stems begin to dry, typically in late summer or early fall. Cut the gourds from the vine, leaving a portion of the stem attached. Allow them to cure in a dry, well-ventilated area for several weeks before using them for decorative purposes.
