If your order requires multiple shipping dates, you will never be charged more than once for shipping charges. This allows us to ship your non-seasonal items to you as soon as possible, as well as allocate our seasonal product for your order.
For example, a customer places an order in February consisting of 5 Pounds of Wildflower Mix and 50 Darwin Hybrid Tulip Bulbs. The order would be charged in full upon submission, the seed would be shipped immediately, and the bulbs would be shipped at the optimal time in the autumn based on the customer's zip code.

About Gourd Seeds - Giant Bottle
Lagenaria siceraria
Bottle gourds, commonly referred to as trumpet, calabash, and white-flowered gourds, are sizable green fruits that can reach up to 12 inches in width and 40 inches in length. Cultivated across nearly every USDA zone, these gourds are often cured and utilized for decorative and crafting purposes. To ensure the development of attractive giant bottle gourds on your plants, it is crucial to carefully select and prepare the garden site. Throughout the growing season, provide the necessary care to the gourd seeds and offer support to the vines with a trellis to suspend the gourds effectively.
