Ivory Bell Gourd Seeds

Ivory Gourd is an elegant hard-shelled heirloom grown for its beautiful creamy ivory-colored fruits and classic pear-shaped form. The smooth to lightly textured gourds mature to a rich ivory color, making them especially attractive for autumn displays, seasonal decorations, and a wide variety of decorative craft projects. Their gracefully curved stems and pleasing shape give each fruit its own unique character, making them as ornamental in the garden as they are after harvest.

Once fully matured and properly cured, the durable shells are ideal for painting, carving, woodburning, staining, and other decorative techniques. Ivory Gourds are popular for creating centerpieces, decorative bowls, holiday displays, floral arrangements, rustic ornaments, and countless handcrafted items. Their naturally light-colored shell provides an excellent canvas for artwork while also looking beautiful when left in its natural state.

Vigorous vines produce an abundant crop of medium-sized gourds throughout the growing season and perform best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil. Grow the vines on sturdy fences, arbors, or trellises to improve fruit shape and simplify harvesting, or allow them to spread naturally across the garden. Leave the fruits on the vine until fully mature and the stems begin to dry before curing them in a warm, well-ventilated location for several weeks. Easy to grow and exceptionally rewarding, Ivory Gourd is an outstanding choice for gardeners, crafters, and anyone who enjoys growing distinctive ornamental gourds.
