description

The organic 'Algonquian' pumpkin is a charming heirloom variety, intriguing from the very first fruits with its elongated shape and color that changes from green to a warm golden orange. With its singular "false pumpkin" appearance, Cucurbita pepo brings a heritage and original touch to the vegetable garden, while offering a generous and flavorful harvest. Its tender, sweet, and very sugary flesh makes it an excellent candidate for purees, pies, and many comforting autumn desserts. In the garden, its long creeping vines vigorously occupy the space, creating an abundant scene where the large leaves and vibrant flowers also attract pollinators. Easy to grow in full sun in rich, well-drained soil, it quickly rewards the gardener with beautiful fruits that gain color as the season progresses. Its ripeness can be read almost like a sign from the garden itself, when the part in contact with the ground begins to change color. A nourishing and decorative variety, it naturally connects garden history, the deliciousness of homemade cooking, and the simple pleasure of autumn harvests. It is an original, productive, and delicious pumpkin, perfect for lovers of gourds with a distinctive character.
