Pumpkin Casperita - West Coast Seeds

Cucurbita pepo

• Cute mini size.
• Perfect for fall indoor/outdoor displays.
• Pairs with Orangita.
• Matures in 80 days.
• Full Sun.

Casperita’s 450-680g (1-1.5lb) petite white pumpkins are fantastic on their own or grown and displayed with the similarly shaped and just slightly larger Orangita. Loads of cute, ribbed fruit ripen early on semi-bush type plants. Bright white colour holds well after harvest. Great for porch and table top displays.

Approx. 5 Seeds

Direct sow or transplant in late spring when soil warms up. For transplants, start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks after the last frost date. Try to get the plants into the ground no later than the summer solstice. Optimal soil temperature for germination: 25-35°C (68-95°F). Seeds should sprout in 7-14 days.

Sow seeds 2cm (1″) deep. Sow 3 seeds in each spot you want a plant to grow and thin to the strongest plant. Space plants at a minimum of 90-120cm (36-48″) apart in rows 120-180cm (48-72″) apart. If starting transplants indoors, consider using the 12-cell plug inserts.
