Lagenaria siceraria – Kobra: dark green gourd with striking spots

Lagenaria siceraria Kobra is one of the most attractive and popular ornamental gourds, known for its dark green color with white spots and distinctive shape. This variety is ideal for gardeners, hobbyists, and crafters looking for a decorative and versatile climbing plant for vertical cultivation, drying, or creative projects.

Kobra is distinguished by its graceful, showy fruits and is considered a main variety within the Lagenaria species because of its ornamental value and growth vigor.


Unique features of Kobra

The fruits of Lagenaria siceraria Kobra are dark green with white spots, giving them an exotic and striking appearance. They are ideal for drying, retaining their shape and color for years.
