Wild Cucumber
- Product number: 132260
- Origin: North America
- Latin: Echinocystis lobata or wrightii, or also Echinopepon
This wild cucumber, native to North America, is a fascinating, fast-growing climber with an abundance of white flowers, like a bridal veil. The round, spiny fruits are not edible, but are great for an autumn table display! The root has various medicinal properties: pain-relieving, libido-enhancing, for stomach and kidney problems, rheumatism and fever... We actually should have classified this lovely plant with the herbs, but in the context of "all cucumbers together," we've placed it here. Do you have a large patio? An ugly or dead tree? In summer, you won't see anything of it if this plant is allowed to grow...
