Description

Beautiful, flat nutmeg pumpkin, lightly speckled.

Chirimen is very attractive with its flat, round shape and speckles. When fully ripe, it has a beautiful terracotta color and weighs approximately 1–3 kg.

The flesh is ideal for cooking and, like most C. moschata, it keeps very well.

Maturation time: 110 days.

Rank behaviour: moderate.

Cucurbita moschata needs a lot of warmth and is therefore best sown early. Varieties with a maturation time of up to 110 days also do well in colder regions.

Optimal germination: 24–30°C. When sowing, hold the pointed end of the seed downward or lay it flat. Do not keep the seed too moist. After germination, place it in a bright, cooler location.

The planting distance for pumpkins depends on the tendril behaviour.

Possible pests: snails, birds, mice, aphids, mildew, viruses.
