Few garden plants are as effortlessly rewarding as the Crown of Thorns Gourd. True to its name, each gourd forms a distinctive ring of raised points around the stem end—like a tiny, sculpted crown. The variety produces a delightful mix of shapes, colors, and patterns, from creamy white and soft yellow to deep green and orange, often splashed or striped in unexpected ways. Perfect for fall decorating, they shine in table displays and seasonal arrangements, where their unusual form always draws attention.

These were an absolute joy to grow—and impressively productive, too. A single hill often yielded twenty or more gourds, all with bright, durable shells that cured beautifully for long-lasting use. Technically, though, these “gourds” are not true gourds at all, but rather a Cucurbita pepo variety—botanically related to pumpkins and acorn squash. It makes no difference for ornamental use, but seed savers will want to take note and isolate plants accordingly to prevent crossing.

Easy, abundant, and eye-catching, Crown of Thorns Gourd is the perfect choice for anyone who loves growing their own fall décor or simply wants a crop that gives more than it asks.  Matures approximately 90-110 days after sowing. Each packet contains a minimum of 25 seeds.
