Notes
'Casperita' pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo 'Casperita') is a vegetable for the food garden. 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 at a rapid rate and bears white flowers from early to late summer. It was selected for productivity, shape, and color.
Pairs well with Black Beans bean, Gold Medal Tomato tomato, and Fernleaf dill.
