Cucurbita pepo Ten Commandments is a classic ornamental pumpkin mixture that has been popular with gardeners and hobby growers for years. This colorful pumpkin mixture stands out for its colorful, larger, and longer fruits compared to other pumpkin varieties. The variety is known for its ornamental value and reliability, making it a favorite for both individual gardens and collective seasonal decorations.
Ten Commandments' fruits are characterized by their vibrant colors and unique shapes. This blend produces slightly larger and longer fruits than average crowns, giving each harvest an impressive visual impact. Characteristics of this ornamental pumpkin blend include:
Bright colours for a lively presentation
Larger and longer fruits for maximum decorative impact
Strong, robust skin that has a long shelf life
Uniform growth within the mixture, despite variations in color and shape
These properties make Ten Commandments ideal for autumn decorations, market stalls and creative seasonal projects.
Ten Commandments is a true ornamental pumpkin, so the fruits are not suitable for consumption. The variety is primarily grown for its high ornamental value and long shelf life, making it perfect for:
fall and Halloween decorations
table decorations and flower arrangements
creative projects in schools or workshops
sale as seasonal decoration in garden centers and markets
The variegated colours and unique crown shape make this variety particularly suitable for visually appealing displays.
Ten Commandments is a vigorously vining variety, allowing the plants to develop extensively. Sufficient space is essential for optimal growth and fruit development. The vining habit promotes healthy air circulation around the plants and helps prevent diseases. Its strong vining properties make this mixture suitable for:
spacious vegetable gardens and allotments
commercial ornamental pumpkin cultivation
hobby gardeners with sufficient soil for extensive planting beds
By keeping sufficient distance between the plants, the variegated crowns can grow optimally.
Ten Commandments matures in approximately 100 days, making it a mid- to late-season ornamental pumpkin. The fruits develop evenly and retain their color and firmness for a long time. This makes the variety ideal for harvesting, storage, and long-term display throughout the fall season.
Cucurbita pepo Ten Commandments grows best in warm, well-drained, and fertile soil. For successful cultivation, the seeds can be planted in two ways:
Sow from the end of April, plant out after the last frost
Sow directly from early May, as soon as the soil is sufficiently warm
For optimal germination, a temperature of 24–30°C is ideal. The seeds should be placed pointed-side down or flat and kept slightly moist, but not wet. After germination, the young plants should be placed in a bright, cooler location to promote strong, healthy growth.
Due to the strong vine habit of Ten Commandments, the space required depends on the available surface area and the desired result. Sufficient spacing is generally recommended to promote air circulation and ensure optimal growth of the variegated crowns. A guideline is approximately 2 m² per plant.
