Specially selected by The Royal Botanic Gardens Kew especially for children (of all ages!). Have hours of fun growing & painting! Unusual, doll-shaped gourds that can be harvested at various sizes, dried & painted to your own design, creating a family of Russian dolls. Sow March to April in pots of moist seed compost 1cm deep. Can also be sown direct outdoors once the soil has warmed. Dry fruits fully in a cool, airy position before painting the skins.
