Description

A silver-blue skinned pumpkin which always excels in taste trials. They remind me of sweet potatoes in taste. It also stores exceptionally well for up to a year.

Please note, illustrated packets are being introduced gradually over the coming months, availability may vary.

Care Tips

Water well, and avoid the plant becoming dry. Mulch well, and dig in plenty of manure. Will need a frame to climb up. It is important to pinch out the triffid-like growth tips once they reach 1.8m and to keep doing so! This helps the fruit to set.
