Black Kat F1 Pumpkin seeds (treated)
*Treated and non treated seeds available. See our other listing for non treated seeds.
These pumpkins start out green then ripen to a dark intense green that looks black to the eye. These are small pumpkins, think Jack Be Little pumpkins, but black. These are going to steal the glance of every passerby.
These are great for decorating tables during Halloween parties, for Fall decorations, or for making baby Jack-O-Lanterns! Even though they are small and compact, they are definitely a conversation starter. They are deeply ribbed with a black stem. With a little acrylic paint, you can also paint white features on it to create your unique Jack-O-Lantern!
*These must be picked while they are black. If left on the vine, they will revert to an orange color.
Each plant will produce around 10 1/2 lb. - 1 lb. pumpkins.
