Gourd Speckled Swan is a distinguished heirloom variety prized for its elegant morphology and versatile decorative potential. True to its name, each gourd develops a gracefully curved 12 to 16-inch neck that elegantly enlarges at the stem end, creating a striking swan-like silhouette. The naturally speckled surface adds visual interest and character, making these gourds exceptional candidates for hand-painting, embellishment, and artistic customization once properly dried. Weighing 3 to 5 pounds per gourd, Speckled Swan produces substantial, display-worthy specimens ideal for autumn arrangements, harvest festivals, and seasonal markets. The plants are vigorous growers that thrive in warm conditions, reaching maturity in approximately 125 days with a reliable germination rate of 80% or better. This variety offers compelling commercial and personal applications—from fall market sales to home decorating projects. The dried gourds provide an excellent canvas for creative painting, staining, and artistic techniques, allowing gardeners and crafters to personalize their harvest according to individual aesthetic preferences. Our Non-GMO seeds represent authentic heirloom genetics, sustainably cultivated and packaged in environmentally responsible materials that are fully reusable and recyclable. By growing Speckled Swan, you're preserving traditional seed heritage while supporting ecological stewardship and agricultural biodiversity.
