Triamble pumpkin seeds
This Australian heirloom is unique, distinctive, full of character, and delicious. This glance-stealing gem is a rich sage green-blue-grey color and is easily recognized by the 3 large distinctive bumps that compose the shape of this pumpkin. This pumpkin originated in Australia but has since made its way to the U.S. In addition to being highly decorative, it's extremely nutty in flavor and offers a sweet, fine-grained orange flesh that is sweet and sugary.
These are Winter squash, so they can be stored throughout the winter and into Spring and Summer. Growers have even reported them lasting up to 2 years on account of their hard skin! Triamble pumpkins grow to be about 6-12 inches apart and can weigh upwards of 10 lbs.
