Caveman's Club (Maranka) Gourd Squash Starter Live Plants - 4 Seedlings

The Caveman’s Club Gourd, also known as Maranka Gourd, produces distinctive club-shaped gourds measuring approximately 12–18 inches in length. Each gourd features a slender handle that expands into a large oblong club with deep ridges and textured bumps, giving it a bold, prehistoric appearance that stands out in any garden.

This unique variety is popular among gardeners, crafters, and artisans for its versatility. Once fully matured and dried, the gourds can be used to create rustic home décor, birdhouses, containers, ornaments, and even musical instruments. Their unusual shape and natural texture make them excellent for both decorative and functional projects.

Caveman’s Club Gourd is a late-maturing variety that benefits from being started early in the growing season. Growing the vines on a trellis or support system can help encourage straighter necks and more uniform gourds.
