Notes

'Jarrahdale' pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima 'Jarrahdale') is a vegetable for the food garden and for use as a ground cover. 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 fast and climbs, so give the vines plenty of room. Orange flowers open from early to late summer.

Pairs well with Brad's Atomic Grape Tomato tomato, Lime basil, and Cilantro.
