Cucurbita pepo Dancing Gourd
Cucurbita pepo Dancing Gourd
Also available as Spinning Gourd.
The smallest pumpkin in the world sets fruit quite early and produces plenty of 3-6 cm mini pumpkins. The fruits can be dried very well and used for decoration (e.g. for painting and crafts).
The name is derived from the tradition popular at the turn of the century that American boys always carried such a “nature top” in their trouser pockets. After that, this variety disappeared for a long time and we are happy to be able to offer this fun, extravagant variety.
Real ornamental pumpkin, not suitable for consumption.
Ripening time: 90 days.
