Growing Heirloom Shenot Crown of Thorns Gourd Vegetable Garden Seeds Non-GMO, Heirloom Shenot Crown of Thorns Gourd Seed Growth Habits: Gourds, such as the Shenot Crown of Thorns, grow best on 8-10" tall mounds that accommodate their long, trailing vines. The Crown of Thorns plant produces small, ornamental gourds featuring blunt, horn-like protrusions that make it look like a crown. The color may be orange, green, white, yellow or a color mix, and the gourds may or may not have stripes. Gourds, like their pumpkin cousins, are sun-loving and grow best in warm weather. They are very sensitive to frost. They can be directly sown in the ground, but often do well when started indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost date, which gives them an early start. An early start is most beneficial for growers with a shorter season. Be sure to provide fertile, well-draining soil for best results, as gourds are heavy nitrogen feeders.
