Notes

'Scarface' pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo 'Scarface') is a vegetable for the food garden and for ground cover. 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 at a rapid rate and blooms from early to late summer. Its vines spread, so give it plenty of room.

Pairs well with Sweet Success cucumber, Purple Ruffles basil, and Hoary vervain.
