Vine Borer Resistant Pumpkin Seeds
Every variety in this collection is naturally resistant to squash vine borers (SVB) — grown and field-tested in Newton, Kansas (Zone 6b). All are Cucurbita moschata, the species with thick, solid stems that vine borers can't easily penetrate. If you've lost pumpkins, zucchini, or yellow squash to vine borers, these heirloom and open-pollinated varieties are your long-term solution. Seminole, Tromboncino, Musquée de Provence, and Honeynut — proven performers in the South, Midwest, and anywhere SVB pressure is heavy.
