Lagenaria Polenovidnaya, seeds Gavrish 5pcs

Lagenaria is an annual decorative liana from the Pumpkin family. The plant is vigorous and strongly branched, with pale green, slightly pubescent large leaves. The flowers are white, large, like a huge open bell. The fruits are cylindrical, but unlike the serpentine lagenaria, the raspberry-shaped fruits are smoother, thicker, resemble a log in shape, light green, 1.5-2.0 m long, weighing 10-15 kg, have the ability to regenerate if you cut off a part , then the cut site is tightened and they continue to grow. The pulp of this form is tasty, reminiscent of a zucchini (young ovaries no more than 50 cm in length are used for eating). Due to the spectacular appearance of the plant itself, lagenaria is widely used for vertical gardening. Seeds are sown for seedlings at the end of April (preliminary soaking is recommended). The optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 25-30 ° C. Young plants are planted in open ground in June, when the threat of frost has passed.
