A single Seminole pumpkin.

Seminole Pumpkin seeds (organic)

SKU: S38091

The Seminole pumpkin is a popular, hearty, and sweet variety known for its unsurpassed heat tolerance. Originally grown by the Native Americans along the coast, the Seminole pumpkin has a lot of character. The color will vary from dark green to tan depending on when you pick it. The shape is generally round to bell-shaped, but this pumpkin is a doppelganger. If it cross-pollinates with another squash it may take on the shape of the other variety ( i.e it may grow in a butternut squash shape if you have a bee cross-pollinate it with a butternut squash bloom). Images provided for this listing will illustrate the many faces and shapes of the Seminole pumpkin.

This is a popular variety for warm climates but can be grown elsewhere. The Seminole pumpkin is also powdery mildew and vine borer resistant, both a huge plus.
