Black and White (F1) Pumpkin seed mix
The Black Kat pumpkin is a newer variety and a smaller version of the midnight pumpkin. It starts as a small light green pumpkin as it develops, then slowly turns into an intense dark green which appears black to the eye. This can be used with Halloween costumes, to decorate the table at Halloween parties, to incorporate in displays to add contrast, or to paint ( use white acrylic paint to make a unique Jack-O-Lantern!) These are small to medium in size with moderate vines. You can expect 5-10 fruits per vine.
Casperita Pumpkins are the baby version of the Casper pumpkin. These are pint-sized pumpkins ideal for Fall decorations and can yield between 15 and 20 pumpkins per vine! These were developed to be prolific and easy to grow. These are also POWDERY MILDEW RESISTANT!
Both of these complement each other and with this sampler, you will be able to grow them together!
