Not a bean – A type of edible gourd/squash!

New Guinea Bean is a bottle gourd with creamy white flesh that is similar to a zucchini. They’ll grow over a metre long. However, if you want to eat them as a vegetable, you should harvest them when they are about 30 to 40 centimetres long. The fruit of the New Guinea Bean can be dried and the shell used to make objects such as musical instruments.

New Guinea Bean plants are very vigorous and must be trellised.

The plants will benefit from being well-watered and will need to be positioned where they get full sun.

8 seeds in a packet.

Comes in a paper seed envelope.
