Jack-O-Lantern Pumpkin (Garden Starter Plant)
$499
4"
Heirloom. This round to oblong pumpkin was bred for making Jack O’ Lanterns, but its flesh makes delicious pies, soups, and muffins, too. It weighs an average of about 7 to 10 pounds and has a deep orange color. Vines grow long, so give it plenty of room or save space by trellising and make a sling for the heavy fruit. It has a nice thick stem that makes a good handle for the top of your Jack O’ Lantern. Great source of vitamins A and C.
