Notes
'Polar Bear' pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima 'Polar Bear') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It is an extra-large white pumpkin. The vines climb and grow fast, and they bear white blooms from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Cranberry bean, Purple Ruffles basil, and Cilantro.
