Cyclanthera brachystacha - Exploding Cucumber

4 seeds per pack. Not a true cucumber, this cucurbit is best known for its fruits which when ripe, "explode" open, expelling its seeds for dispersal. Vigorous vining growth. Can be grown as an annual in most climates. The fruit is also edible. A true curiosity. Care should be taken around sensitive subjects when the fruits are ripe to avoid any damage from seeds. #4557
