Premium Bangladeshi Lau (Kodu / Bottle Gourd) Seeds
Are you dreaming of harvesting fresh, organic, and tender Bangladeshi Lau right from your UK garden or allotment? At Plants Paradise, we bring the authentic taste of Bangladesh to your doorstep with our premium-grade Lau Kodu seeds, specifically selected for their success in the British climate.
Why Choose Our Bangladeshi Lau (Bottle Gourd) Seeds?
The Bottle Gourd, known as Lau or Kodu in Bengali and Labu Air in Indonesian, is a staple in South Asian cuisine. While there are many varieties of bottle gourd globally—ranging from the long Pusa Naveen found among popular bottle gourd varieties in India to the rounder types—our seeds are sourced to provide that specific sweet, watery, and tender texture synonymous with Bangladesh Lau.

-
Authentic Variety: High-germination seeds of the traditional Bangladeshi long gourd.
-
UK Adapted: Carefully selected strains that thrive in UK greenhouses and polytunnels.
-

Is Bottle Gourd Perennial?
A common question among UK gardeners is, “Is bottle gourd perennial?” Technically, the bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) is a tender annual. It grows rapidly during the warm summer months, produces fruit, and completes its life cycle before the first frost. This makes it the perfect project for the UK spring and summer season.

How to Grow Lau Kodu in the UK
Growing Bangla Lau seeds in the UK requires a little bit of care to mimic the tropical climate of Bangladesh:
-
Sowing: Start seeds indoors in April or May. Use a heated propagator or a warm windowsill.
-
Transplanting: Move to a greenhouse or a sunny, sheltered spot outdoors once all risk of frost has passed (usually June).
-
Support: As a vigorous climber, ensure you have a sturdy trellis or net.
-
Pollination: In UK greenhouses, you may need to hand-pollinate the white evening flowers to ensure a heavy harvest.
From Garden to Table: The Perfect Lau Kodu Recipe
Once you harvest your fresh Bangladeshi Lau, try the classic Lau Chingri (Bottle Gourd with Prawns). Sauté your diced Lau with light spices like turmeric, green chilies, and cumin seeds. Because our variety is so tender, it cooks in its own juices, creating a naturally sweet and healthy dish that pairs perfectly with steamed rice.
