Achocha (Cyclanthera brachybotrys)

Annual.
7 seeds per packet.

This rare South American edible — a cucurbit relative — can grow 15 feet or more in a season, decked with intricate coiled tendrils and bright red blooms that become small, curious looking fruits. While not much is known about this plant in this part of the world, we can confidently recommend a trellis for management and an easy harvest.
