Bottle Gourd / Birdhouse Gourd (Calabash) — Versatile Heirloom for Crafts & Gardeners
A classic heirloom grown for centuries, the Bottle Gourd (also called Birdhouse Gourd or Calabash) is one of the most rewarding plants you can grow. These vigorous vines produce large, smooth, hard shell gourds that dry into beautiful natural containers — perfect for birdhouses, bowls, dippers, crafts, and décor.
Gardeners love this variety for its fast growth, heavy production, and the endless creative possibilities once the gourds cure. Whether you’re crafting rustic birdhouses or shaping traditional calabash vessels, this plant delivers both beauty and utility.
