This is our first year growing this variety for our Spring 2025 Plant Sale! Grown from Ed Hume seeds that were shared by our friends at Growing Neighbors.

Notes from Hume Seeds
A new miniature pumpkin ideal for table decorations, painting and small jack o’lanterns. Easy to grow plants bear several 2 inch tall by 3 inch wide pumpkins per plant. Although edible these pumpkins are more highly valued for their decorative value and will last for months if properly cured. Approximately 95 days to maturity.
Specs:
Plant Size: 3 - 5 feet
Days to Maturity: 95 days
