Speckled Hound F1 Pumpkin seeds
The Speckled Hound F1 pumpkin is a stunning variety that hails from the turban variety. This pumpkin has a unique flatness that makes it almost box-like in shape. Its color is almost salmon pink with blueish-green to turquoise splotches cascading down the shallow ribs. While the exterior is interesting enough, the inside is a real treat for the palate! The flesh is golden in color, the texture drier and grainier with a flavor that has been compared to sweet dumpling squash, and the texture of butternut squash.
