Autumn Frost F1 (Koginut) pumpkin seeds
The Autumn Frost pumpkin (or koginut squash ) is a highly decorative pumpkin that is elegant with the taste and texture of a fine-grained squash. This variety is a hybrid and belongs to the butternut family.
The exterior is coated with a thin layer of a waxy bloom that resembles frost, hence the name. The Autumn frost is shaped like mini butternut squash with a pumpkin exterior. This variety has a semi-sweet earthy taste, and the flesh is ideal for bread, pumpkin butter, and roasting. Like all Winter squash, this also has an incredible shelf life and can last 8 - 12 months.
