Notes
'Neon' pumpkin (Cucurbita 'Neon') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It grows as a bush and flowers from early to late summer. The fruits are ready about 70 days after planting, and this hybrid is grown from seed.
Pairs well with Straight-8 cucumber, Dark Opal basil, and Scotch Bonnet pepper.
