A different variety of pumpkin! With a very vivid reddish color and an orange-yellow interior, its scented flesh has a sweet taste. Large, at least 5kg in weight, flattened and so round that you want to try it when you see it! It has very good conservation, being used mainly in traditional cuisine and cakes.
Sowing with temperatures of 15/20ºC. Make holes 1-2m apart and plant 3 seeds in each hole 1-2cm deep. Keep the substrate moist until germination is complete.
