It is an easy-to-grow annual vine that performs well in garden beds, raised beds, and large containers, rewarding growers with colorful, long-lasting gourds that hold their pattern well after harvest. The firm, mildly sweet flesh is well suited to pies, soups, roasting, and preserves, while the sturdy striped rind makes the fruit a natural choice for autumn and holiday decorating. Vines are vigorous and productive, producing fruit that reaches maturity in roughly 95 to 105 days from sowing. Plant in full sun after the last frost, keep soil consistently moist but well drained, and harvest when the rind is hard and the stem begins to dry. \u003cbr\u003e\n Species: Cucurbita pepo\u003cbr\u003e\n Variety: Striped Pumpkin\u003cbr\u003e\n Type: Annual vine vegetable\u003cbr\u003e\n Plant_Habit: Trailing vine\u003cbr\u003e\n Sun: Full sun\u003cbr\u003e\n Soil: Rich, well-drained loam\u003cbr\u003e\n Days_to_Harvest: 95-105\u003cbr\u003e\n Zones: 3-11 annual\u003cbr\u003e\n Germination: 7-14 days at 21-29C\u003cbr\u003e\n Sowing: Direct sow 2-3 cm deep after last frost; start indoors 2-4 weeks earlier\u003cbr\u003e\n Spacing: 60-90 cm between plants, 120-180 cm between rows\u003cbr\u003e\n Notes: Harvest when rind is hard and stem dries; cure in a warm dry spot for longer storage\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67664811163784,"sku":"ANNISA-441","price":31.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/il_fullxfull.7982717125_rkyt_91f3534c-88b4-495c-b326-2a4ae87425d8.jpg?v=1791899438","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/10-seeds-striped-pumpkin-cucurbita-pepo-heirloom-ornamental-edible","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
