Fireball F1 Pumpkin seeds (treated)
Fireball F1 pumpkin is a stunning decorative variety that adds an explosive burst of color to any patch! With a cream-yellow background adorned by vibrant orange stripes, these medium 9 lb. fruits feature a flattened round shape and a robust dark green stem for excellent contrast. The striped pattern starts in a dark green hue and matures over time to a captivating orange, creating a unique and eye-catching visual display. Noteworthy for both its striking appearance and durability, Fireball pumpkins hold well in the field and boast excellent post-harvest holding capabilities. Slightly warted, the fruit's handle quality is superb, making it an ideal addition to mixed bins or roadside sales.
