Ripening extra early, the Pumpkin Neon Hybrid allows you to start picking up to a month earlier than many other varieties. This versatile pumpkin is just right for both pies and Jack-O-Lanterns. Each uniform globe weighs between 3 to 4 kg (7 to 8 lb), measuring approximately 25 cm (10 in.) wide and 22 cm (8.5 in.) tall. The plant grows in a semi-bush habit, making it suitable for smaller garden spaces.
Size: Globes reach about 25 cm (10 in.) in width and 22 cm (8.5 in.) in height.
Yield: Expect a productive harvest with pumpkins weighing 3 to 4 kg (7 to 8 lb).
Taste: Sweet, fibrous flesh, perfect for pies and festive decorations.
How to use: Ideal for baking, cooking, or as decorative pumpkins for fall displays.
Planting tips: Sow outdoors after the last frost, covering seeds lightly with soil in groups of 2 to 3. Space the plants at least 3 m (10 ft) apart for optimal growth. For earlier harvests, start indoors 2 to 3 weeks before the last frost. Ensure soil temperatures are around 22°C (72°F) for best germination, which occurs in 7 to 10 days.
Harvest tips: Pumpkins are ready to harvest when the stem has turned dark green and starts to wither. Water generously to achieve the best size.

Strong germination and growth. VG Halloween pumpkin
We grow these every summer and barring early snow and heavy frost they provide us with a number of good sized pumpkins which we save and make into soups and exceptional pies! They are the only pumpkins that seem to grow well and consistently in our climate here.
