Notes
'Atlantic Giant' pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima 'Atlantic Giant') is a vegetable for the food garden and for covering ground. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It grows fast and climbs, and it bears orange to pink blooms from early to late summer. This line was re-selected for improved shape and uniformity.
Pairs well with Black Prince tomato, Lime basil, and Cilantro.
