Cucurbita pepo Jack O'Lantern BIO – The Classic Halloween Lantern Pumpkin

Cucurbita pepo Jack O'Lantern BIO is the organic version of the iconic Halloween pumpkin, ideal for gardeners seeking sustainable and organic cultivation. With its round, firm fruits weighing 5–8 kg, the Jack O'Lantern has been a favorite for decades with hobby gardeners, schools, and community projects alike. The bright orange color and firm flesh make this pumpkin particularly suitable for decorative purposes, such as Halloween lanterns, but also for culinary uses, such as pumpkin soup or stews.

Key Features

The Jack O'Lantern Organic is a round to slightly rounded variety with vigorous growth. It's a classic lantern pumpkin, known for its high ornamental value and suitability for decoration. Thanks to organic seed production, this variety meets strict organic standards, making it ideal for gardeners who want to grow organically without compromising on quality or appearance.

The fruits are firm enough to hollow out and decorate, making Organic Jack O'Lanterns an excellent choice for Halloween parties, fall markets, and outdoor decorations. The flesh can also be used for culinary purposes, although this variety is primarily grown for decoration.

Cultivation advice and care

Jack O'Lantern BIO thrives in warm, well-drained soil. For successful cultivation, the seeds can be pre-sown and planted from late April, or sown directly from early May. The optimal germination temperature is between 24 and 30°C, which ensures rapid and uniform germination.

When sowing, it's important to place the pointed end of the seed downward or flat and not to keep the seed too moist. After germination, the young seedlings should be placed in a brighter, cooler location to develop strong, healthy plants.

Space and growth behavior

Jack O'Lantern BIO displays luxuriant tendrils and needs ample space to grow well. The recommended planting distance depends on the tendrils, but an average of 2 to 3 square meters per plant is recommended. This generous growth pattern ensures healthy plants and an optimal yield of large, firm fruits.

Regular monitoring for snails, aphids, and powdery mildew is essential for successful organic cultivation. Organic seed ensures healthy plants that are less susceptible to certain diseases, while also meeting organic certification requirements.

Ripening and harvest

The ripening period is 100–105 days, making these pumpkins ideal for late summer harvesting and autumn decoration. The fruits are firm and keep well, making them suitable for immediate decoration or use in cooking.

At harvest time, it's important to pick the berries when they're fully orange and firm to maintain their long shelf life and decorative value. Organic Jack O'Lanterns combine a classic look with sustainably grown seeds, making them ideal for organic gardening and fall projects.

Decorative and culinary applications

Organic Jack O'Lantern is a classic choice for Halloween. It's perfect for carving and decorating, making it a must-have for any fall party or school project. The flesh can be used in soups and stews, although this variety is primarily grown for ornamental purposes.
