Pumpkin seed questions
When should I plant pumpkin seeds?
Wait until frost danger has passed and the soil has warmed. Choose a variety that can mature before your first fall frost; the days to maturity on each product page help you plan. Kansas spring weather can change quickly, so use soil conditions and the forecast rather than a fixed calendar date. See our guide to planting pumpkin seeds outside.
Which pumpkin seeds should I choose for my garden?
Start with your available vine space, growing season and harvest plans. Use the filters above to narrow the selection, then add varieties to the comparison table. For cooking, browse pie pumpkin seeds; for a smaller bed, compare our small-garden pumpkin options. Check each variety's spacing before planting.
Should I choose heirloom or F1 hybrid pumpkin seeds?
Heirlooms are open-pollinated varieties maintained over generations. F1 hybrids come from a planned cross, and saved seed may not reproduce the same traits. Open-pollinated pumpkins can also cross with compatible varieties, so seed saving takes planning. Read our heirloom and hybrid pumpkin comparison.
Are these pumpkin seeds for eating or planting?
These packets are sold for planting. Check the product page and selected packet for treatment information. Treated seed must not be used for food or animal feed.
