Notes
'Snowball' pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo 'Snowball') is a vegetable for the food garden, grown as a small white pumpkin. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It grows at a rapid rate and bears white and green blooms from early to late summer. The pumpkin holds its white color well.
Pairs well with Orange Hat Tomato tomato, Navy bean, Cilantro, and Lime basil.
