Notes
'Igor' pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo 'Igor') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It grows at a rapid rate, so give the vines plenty of room. Orange flowers open from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Brad's Atomic Grape Tomato tomato, Dolce Fresca basil, and Mexican Sour Gherkin cucumber.
