Notes
'Giant Bello Gourd' (Lagenaria siceraria 'Giant Bello Gourd') is a vegetable for borders, containers, and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. The vine can reach 240 to 358 inches tall, so give it a strong support. Bees and butterflies visit its flowers.
Pairs well with Sunset Torch F1 tomato, Fern Leaf dill, and Bright Lights Swiss chard.
