Why buy Seminole pumpkin seeds
The Seminole pumpkin is one of the toughest squash you can grow. It is a Cucurbita moschata heirloom that has been cultivated in the American South for centuries, and it shrugs off the heat, humidity, and squash vine borer pressure that flatten ordinary pumpkins. The fruit is small to medium, sweet, and stores for months, sometimes a full year. If you garden anywhere with hot summers, this is a variety worth planting.
- Vine borer resistant moschata, not an easy target for borers like hollow-stemmed pepo squash
- Heat and humidity tolerant, bred by generations of Southern growers
- Open-pollinated heirloom, so you can save seed and grow it again next year
- Excellent keeper, dense sweet flesh for pies, soups, and roasting
