Winter Luxury, Pumpkin

Heirloom Pumpkin. | C. Pepo | QTY: 20 Seeds | 100 Days

If you want an absolutely gorgeous, refined, round pumpkin that’s as good as it gets for pies as well as porch decor, this is IT!  Winter Luxury, developed in the 1800’s, is a plump little guy, usually weighing between 9-12 pounds.  But its distinguishing feature is the pale netting, similar to a cantaloupe’s over the ribbed, orange skin, making each pumpkin simply glow.  It’s the very best pie pumpkin.
