Cucuzza Longa Serpente - Gourd

Ref : C0506 - Lagenaria siceraria
Bag of 12 seeds

This magnificent variety offers an abundance of edible fruit, 1 m long, which is highly prized in Sicilian cuisine. They are eaten like zucchini, when they reach 40 cm. The apical stems with young leaves (called "tenerumi", tendrons) are also eaten in soups, like spinach.

The gourds can be dried in a dry, well-ventilated place, and can be painted, sculpted or turned into various objects.

in the ground, in bucket

Sow in pots at a temperature between 18 and 20°C, 2 to 3 weeks before planting. Transplant with the root ball into the ground, after the last frosts, at a minimum distance of 2 m in all directions. Sowing directly into the ground is possible in mild climates, in May. In both cases, prepare holes filled with compost or organic matter two weeks in advance to accommodate your seedlings or seeds.
