Description

Ribbed, partly puckered ornamental pumpkin.

An old, very beautiful Portuguese landrace, dark green, ribbed and usually puckered.

Weighing approximately 5–7 kg, this is a larger ornamental pumpkin, less suitable as a table or eating pumpkin.

Black Warted Portuguese grows quite vigorously and, as a Southern European variety, is not one of the early maturing pumpkins.

Maturation period: 100–110 days.

Black Warted Portuguese grows strongly as a climbing plant.

C. pepo grows well in warm, well-drained soil, with pre-cultivation and planting out by sowing from late April or by direct sowing from early May.

Optimal germination temperature: 24–30°C. Sow with the pointed end of the seed facing down or lay it flat. Don't keep the seed too moist. After germination, place it in a bright, cool place.

For Black Warted Portuguese we recommend approximately 2–3 m² per plant.

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