Notes
'Spark' pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo 'Spark') 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 grows at a rapid rate and bears orange and yellow blooms from early to late summer. The mini pumpkins are uniform and flashy.
Pairs well with Orange Hat Tomato tomato, Navy bean, and Lime basil.
