Why choose the Jack O'Lantern Pumpkin

A pumpkin designed to last and impress. Its round and uniform fruit features a deep orange, robust skin, resistant to transport and ephemeral seasonal decorations. Its light and fine orange flesh is suitable for decorative carving as well as simple culinary preparations such as purées, soups, and autumn pies.

Features and uses

• Weight and shape: round and generous fruits, generally suitable for carving thanks to their robust skin and flesh suitable for cooking.
• Maturation time: approximately 90 to 110 days after sowing, depending on climatic conditions and care provided.
• Storage: once harvested at maturity, the pumpkin can be stored for several months in a cool, dry place, ideal for extending decoration and culinary preparations.
• Versatility: perfect for Halloween (carving and decor), but also for purees, veloutés, and pies thanks to its sweet, low-fiber flesh.

Practical cultivation and harvesting tips

• Exposure and soil: generous sun and fertile, well-drained soil, enriched with organic matter to support vigorous development.
• Planting: direct sowing outdoors after the last frosts, spacing plants about 90 cm apart to allow each fruit to form.
• Watering and fertilization: regular watering without water stagnation; favor a balanced fertilizer during transplanting and light feeding throughout growth.
• Harvesting: pick when the skin is hard and the stem dry; handle with care to avoid cracks and facilitate storage.
