Thrived in my climate

I was worried about growing Tianjin varieties in my region, but they adapted well. The flowers are beautiful too, adding extra value before the gourds appear.

Exceeded expectations

The super large gourds turned out massive! It took some patience, but the result was worth it. Great product for anyone interested in ornamental gardening.

Good value for money

You get a lot of seeds for the price. Not every single one sprouted, but enough did to fill three large pots. The 'Eight Treasures' mix is fun to watch develop.

Perfect for DIY projects

We grew these specifically to dry them out for painting and crafting. The shapes are unique, especially the long-mouth types. Highly recommend for hobbyists.

Amazing variety pack for collectors

I bought these seeds to grow decorative gourds on my balcony. The mix of sizes is fantastic, and the germination rate was surprisingly high. The 'Extra Small' ones are adorable in pots.

Great growth, needs space

The giant varieties grew incredibly fast. Just be aware that even in pots, they need a sturdy trellis. The quality of the seeds seems very fresh.

5 FAQ

Q: Do I need to hand-pollinate the flowers?

A: If you are growing them outdoors, bees and other pollinators usually handle this. For indoor or balcony setups where pollinators are scarce, gentle hand-pollination using a small brush can improve fruit set.

Q: Are these gourds edible when young?

A: While some gourd varieties are edible when very young, this specific 'Eight Treasures' collectible mix is primarily bred for ornamental purposes and crafting after drying. We recommend checking specific variety guides if you intend to consume them.

Q: How long does it take for the seeds to germinate?

A: Under optimal conditions with warm soil (around 70-85°F), you can expect germination within 7 to 14 days. Soaking the seeds overnight before planting may help speed up the process.

Q: What is the difference between the Long-Mouth and Short-Mouth types?

A: The primary difference is the shape of the mature gourd. Long-Mouth varieties have an elongated neck, while Short-Mouth types have a more compact, rounded shape with a shorter neck. Both are part of the collectible series.

Q: Can these seeds be grown indoors in a pot?

A: Yes, these seeds are specifically selected for potted planting. However, ensure your pot is at least 12 inches deep and provide a trellis for the vines to climb as they grow.
