One seedling will produce 20-30 fruits.
Suzumeuri (Sparrow Gourd) - Cucurbitaceae, Melothria genus, Melothria laponica
A climbing annual plant that grows wild in damp grassy areas of fields and mountains. The stems are thin and extend by twining around various objects with tendrils.
White flowers bloom in August-September. Monoecious. Male flowers have three stamens. Female flowers have an oval sphere below the flower.
The fruits are oval or spherical, 1-2 cm in diameter, initially green, turning grayish-white when ripe.
Distribution: Honshu to Kyushu.
There are theories about the origin of the name, such as it being named after sparrows because the fruit is smaller than that of the Chinese bellflower (Karasuri), or that the fruit resembles sparrow eggs.
The vines and fruits can be used as materials for wreaths, etc.
We plan to ship via Fourth Class Mail, which will take 4-5 days. We recommend expedited shipping as the seedlings are thin and prone to wilting.
Now is the perfect time to plant.
