Notes
'Orangita' pumpkin (Cucurbita 'Orangita') 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 has a bush habit, so it takes less room than a vining pumpkin. It blooms from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Cajun Belle pepper, Straight-8 cucumber, Dark Opal basil, and Honeoye strawberry.
