Long Handled Dipper Gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) is a fascinating and functional gourd variety known for its elongated, curved neck and bulbous base. Traditionally grown for crafting, these gourds are often dried and used to create ladles, birdhouses, and decorative art pieces. The smooth, green skin transitions to a tan color as it cures, making it an ideal material for carving, painting, or hollowing out for various uses. Its unique shape and versatility have made it a favorite among artisans, hobbyists, and gardeners who enjoy growing natural, functional decor.

This vigorous climbing vine thrives in warm temperatures and requires sturdy trellising or ample ground space for its sprawling growth habit. It prefers well-drained, nutrient-rich soil and consistent watering to support the development of long, uniform gourds. Harvesting is typically done when the shell hardens, and drying the gourds properly ensures their durability for crafting. Whether grown for practical applications or as an eye-catching addition to a garden, the Long Handled Dipper Gourd is a rewarding variety that combines beauty, tradition, and creativity.
