About Winter Melon Wax Gourd Seeds

Benincasa hispida

Winter Melon Wax Gourd Seeds grow vigorous warm-season vines that produce large wax gourd fruit for home vegetable gardens. This crop needs warm soil, full sun, steady moisture, and enough space for vines to spread.

Start seeds indoors in short-season areas or direct sow after frost risk has passed. Plant in fertile, well-drained soil and keep young plants evenly moist while they establish.

Planting Notes

  • Light: full sun
  • Season: warm-season annual crop
  • Sowing: start indoors or direct sow after soil warms
  • Spacing: allow generous room for trailing vines

Why Gardeners Love It

Large warm-season wax gourd for vegetable gardens.

Best for gardeners with full sun, warm soil, and room for vines.

Planting Guide

Sow Winter Melon Wax Gourd in spring to early summer after frost risk has passed at about 1/2-1 in. deep. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, usually 7-14 days under warm conditions.

Grow in full sun and space plants about 36-72 in. apart, or more where vines are allowed to spread apart for airflow and harvest access.

Expect maturity in about about 90-120 days, depending on climate and growing conditions, with timing varying by weather, soil temperature, and local growing conditions.

Nice seeds

Totally forgot to leave a review, but better late than never! I planted these a while back and they grew really well. Ended up with a nice harvest. Super happy with how they turned out. Would definitely buy again!
