You will receive 3 packets of Wax Gourd (Wintermelon) seeds, each containing 10 seeds. This popular Asian vegetable produces large, round to oblong fruits with a pale green skin that develops a white waxy coating as it matures—hence the name “Wintermelon.”
Ideal for soups, stews, and long-cooking dishes, Wax Gourd thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It’s a warm-season crop requiring a long growing period, typically maturing in 90–120 days. Fruits store well when harvested mature, making them a staple in many cuisines.
