Sandman F1 Pumpkin seeds
This variety is a butternut squash but in a pumpkin disguise. The exterior skin shares the same smooth tan skin of the butternut squash as well as the same flesh. These can be grown as ornamental due to their unique flesh tone skin and used again in the kitchen. Prepare and treat the Sandman F1 as you would a traditional butternut squash. The flesh is said to be robust, and slightly sweet. Each pumpkin will be round with a slightly squatty shape, incredibly uniform with a long vine habit. Each pumpkin can grow up to 7+ lbs.

++Treated seeds are treated with a sulfur-based fungicide (anti-fungus) compound that will prevent mildew and disease in your plants, increase plant growth, improve the root system, and increase fruit yield. Treated seeds will benefit the growth and protection of the plant. The plants will be safe for pollinators, beneficial insects, and for consumption.
