Notes

'Musquee de Provence' pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata 'Musquee de Provence') is a climbing vegetable 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 grows at a rapid rate and bears orange blooms from early to late summer. Give the vines room or a sturdy support to climb.

Pairs well with Lemon cucumber, Lime basil, and Carbon tomato.
