Notes

'Porcelain Doll' pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima 'Porcelain Doll') 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 climbs and grows rapidly, and it bears pink blooms from early to late summer. Its pink fruit pairs well with Jarrahdale.

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