Pumpkin Seeds for Planting – Non-GMO Heirloom

The classic autumn vegetable worth a spot in your garden

The pumpkin (Cucurbita species) is a warm-season vine grown for its bold, round fruit and its starring role in fall traditions. From towering field pumpkins for carving to compact sugar pumpkins with sweet, smooth flesh for baking, there is a type for every plan. Each plant sprawls with broad leaves and cheerful golden flowers before setting fruit that ripens to deep orange, and a single vine can produce several handsome pumpkins by the season's end.

How to grow pumpkins from seed

Pumpkins are straightforward to start once the ground is warm. Sow pumpkin seeds about an inch deep in full sun after all danger of frost has passed, spacing plants roughly 3 to 5 feet apart since the vines ramble widely. Most varieties need a long season of around 90 to 120 days to ripen fully, so sow early enough to harvest before the first fall frost. For the full step-by-step, see our complete guide to growing pumpkins from seed.

How to use pumpkins

Pumpkins are as useful in the kitchen as they are on the porch. Sugar and pie types roast down into smooth puree for pies, soups, breads, and custards, while their flesh also works in curries and risottos. Larger types are perfect for carving and autumn display, and the seeds of any pumpkin can be cleaned, salted, and roasted into a crunchy snack.

Pumpkins and their cucurbit cousins

If you love growing pumpkins, their cucurbit relatives share the same easygoing habit. Try squash for winter keepers and summer favorites, zucchini for fast, prolific summer fruit, or watermelon for sweet vining fruit in the same family. You can explore the full range in our vegetable seeds collection.
