Notes
'Wan Fu' pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata 'Wan Fu') is a climbing 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. Its fruit is gray with a blush tint, and it ripens early for its type. The vines grow rapidly and bloom from early to late summer, so give them room to climb.
Pairs well with Sweet Success cucumber, Dolce Fresca basil, and Striped German tomato.
