Pumpkins 'Lunar Shadow' F1

  • Product number: 214136
  • Origin: North America
  • Latin: Cucurbita maxima

An Australian type, brought back to its roots: North America. There, the fresh taste has been preserved and disease resistance (through clever - but natural - breeding) has significantly increased, allowing the plants to continue producing their delicious fruits for a very long time. The plants yield a large harvest of flattened-round fruits (10-12 kg heavy, 30 cm in diameter and 16 cm high), the plants vine diligently, and the fruits can be easily stored for several months.

We are very happy to be able to sell the beautiful assortment from Outstanding Seed Company. This American company from Beaver Falls (Pennsylvania) specializes in breeding and improving (through traditional breeding) pumpkins. They focus on improving color, shape, taste, disease resistance, harvest time, harvest size, and storability. It's great to be able to buy directly from the source!
