| Seed Depth | 1" |
| Seed Spacing | 2–3 seeds per mound |

| Start Indoors | Not recommended except in very short growing seasons, 2 to 4 weeks before your average last frost date. Sow in biodegradable pots that can be planted directly in the ground. Transplant after your average last frost date, when weather is warm and settled. |
| Direct Sow | RECOMMENDED. 2 to 4 weeks after your average last frost date, and when soil temperature is 70°–90°F. |
| Growing & Harvesting | Harvest pumpkins before the first fall frost, and when foliage has begun to dry out. Cut stem with a knife, leaving 3"–4" of stem on the pumpkin. Do not hold the pumpkin by the stem; if stem attachment gets broken, or any part of the pumpkin bruises, the pumpkin may rot. Brush off any dirt or leaves. Ideally, cure at 80°-85°F and 80–85% humidity or a warm, sunny spot with good air circulation for 1 to 2 weeks before eating or storage. Do not allow harvested fruit to get wet. |

- JanaeVerified ReviewerRated 3 out of 5 stars8/25/25Beautiful but doesn't grow much.
I bought and planted 2 seed packets and now have 2 pumpkins. They are beautiful and large, but I'm not happy with just 1 pumpkin per packet.

I love this pumpkin! Its very easy to grow and super prolific too. I have probably 30 of these pumpkins to harvest. I used one recently to make Dulces De Calabaza a Mexican Pumpkin Candy made with Pilloncillo Sugar, Cinnamon and Cloves and it came out great! It has thick, sweet, smooth flesh and cooks well. I will grow this one again!
