Pumpkins 'Sugar Cup' F1

  • Product number: 215349
  • Origin: North America
  • Latin: Cucurbita maxima

Proof that beautiful fruits can also be edible and delicious: that was the goal of the breeder of this variety. Well, you can admire and taste the result yourself! The green to blue-grey, ribbed fruits have clouds or stripes and often a constriction at the bottom, a bit like the Turk's Turban. The 3-4 kg heavy fruits are around 20x11 cm; if you cut them open, you will see the tasty, delicately fragrant, yellow flesh. Each plant can yield 8 or more fruits, and fruit setting continues for a long time because powdery mildew hardly strikes, and these 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!
