'Spicy Mocha' pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo 'Spicy Mocha') is a vegetable for the food garden and for ground cover. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It grows at a rapid rate and blooms from early to late summer. The vines spread wide, so give them plenty of room.
