Cucurbita pepo SAM Bicolor PMT is a striking, bicolor pumpkin with a flattened, round, and beautifully ribbed appearance. This variety, similar to Sweet Lightning F1, combines aesthetic appeal with culinary versatility and a compact growth habit.

The fruits are perfect for preparing a complete meal in one go, for example, by filling them with vegetables, grains, or other treats. SAM Bicolor offers convenience and presentation in a single pumpkin.


Two-tone fruits with culinary and decorative value

The flat, round shape and two-tone, ribbed skin make SAM Bicolor PMT not only suitable for consumption but also attractive for decorative purposes. The variety is distinguished by:

  • Compact, climbing growth, making it easy to manage in limited garden spaces.

  • High mildew resistance, which ensures healthy plants and beautiful, uniform fruits.

  • Ideal weight of 600 grams, perfect for filled or individual dishes in the oven or microwave.

SAM Bicolor is slightly larger than its sister variety SAM Orange and impresses with reliable yields and uniform quality.


Growth and cultivation characteristics

SAM Bicolor PMT has a climbing habit, which keeps the plants compact and makes efficient use of available space. The combination of compact growth and high powdery mildew resistance makes this variety particularly suitable for both hobby gardens and commercial cultivation.

With a ripening time of approximately 90 days, SAM Bicolor is a mid-early variety. It delivers a reliable harvest of healthy, uniformly shaped fruits suitable for immediate cooking or for display at the market.


Growing instructions for optimal results

Sowing

  • Pre-sowing: from the end of April indoors or in a heated greenhouse.

  • Sow directly outdoors: from early May in well-drained, warm soil.

  • Optimal germination temperature: 24–30 °C for fast and reliable germination.

  • Insert seeds with the pointed side down or lay them flat.

  • Keep the soil slightly moist, but never too wet, to prevent rot and mold formation.

After germination, the seedlings should be placed in a light, cool place to develop strong, compact plants.

Planting out

C. pepo grows best in a warm, sunny spot with fertile, well-drained soil. For SAM Bicolor PMT, a planting distance of approximately 2 m² per plant is recommended, so the climbing plants have sufficient space for healthy leaf and fruit development.


Culinary applications

SAM Bicolor PMT is a microwave-safe and oven-safe pumpkin, ideal for quick preparation and filling dishes. The compact, flattened, round fruits are perfect for stuffing with vegetables, grains, or meat, allowing a single pumpkin to provide a complete meal.

In addition, the breed is suitable for:

  • Healthy oven dishes and one-pot dishes

  • Workshops and cooking demonstrations

  • Decorative presentation: the striking two-tone peel is a real eye-catcher on the table or market stand

Thanks to the firm skin and uniform shape, the fruits remain beautiful during preparation and presentation.
