The buffalo gourd, scientifically known as Cucurbita foetidissima, grows from a large, tuberous root. This root, a storage organ for the plant, can grow to impressive sizes, sometimes weighing over 100 pounds. The tuberous root was used by Native Americans for various medicinal and other purposes, including as a soap substitute. The silver colored foliage is quite beautiful, these plants can reach very large sizes. Our seeds originated from Arizona.
