Variety Details
Birdhouse Gourd
Birdhouse Gourd is a charming heirloom vine variety that produces distinctive gourd-shaped fruits resembling small birdhouses, typically ready in 125 days. The hard-shelled gourds mature with ornamental light tan or cream-colored skin, ideal for drying and decoration. Young immature fruits can be eaten as summer squash, though the plant is primarily grown as an ornamental rather than for food production. Vigorous vines require full sun and rich, well-drained soil, making them excellent for trellising or sprawling along garden beds.
Heavenly Blue
Fast-growing climber. 4-5" trumpet-shaped flowers are vibrant sky blue with creamy white throats. Lovely heart-shaped foliage and fast-growing vines are excellent for arbors, trellises, or as a ground cover. Easy-to-grow heirloom variety. Flowers open in the morning and close in the afternoon. Morning glory requires short days and long nights to trigger flowering. Vigorous plants put on lots of growth through the spring and summer and begin blooming in midsummer, producing continuously through early fall. NOTE: plants grow vigorously and have the potential to reseed.
