Notes
'Blanco' pumpkin (Cucurbita 'Blanco') is a vegetable vine for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It blooms from early to late summer. Give the sprawling vines plenty of room to run.
Pairs well with Smoothie cucumber, Pepperoncini pepper, and Holy basil.
