Seminole pumpkins are a cultivated variety (cultivar) of Cucurbita moschata.

The wild squash of the Everglades!

From IFAS, "Traditionally grown by the Calusa, Creek, and Miccosukee peoples, Seminole pumpkins remain one of the tastiest and most reliable pumpkins for Florida gardens."

The Seminole people gave the name “Chassahowitza” to a region on the gulf in Southwest Florida. The name means “pumpkin hanging place.”

The Seminole Pumpkin is a native plant of south Florida. Found growing wild in Florida by Native Americans, it can now only be found in remote parts of the Everglades.

The fruit resembles a winter/acorn squash, but much larger. The shape of the fruit varies, mostly oval or oblong. The color ranges from variegated greens, yellow to a dull orange

Contains 10 heirloom seeds

Perfect sized pumpkin!

These are the best pumpkins for both roasting and for pies. These pumpkins are just the right size to make a pumpkin pie. The meat is delicious and the vines are productive. This one is definitely a keeper in my garden!

A garden treat that survived the invasion of squash vine borers

I am definitely ordering Seminole Pumpkin seeds again from you this year!!! Though they took a long time to put on fruit, they are wonderfully flavored and sweet both green and ripe!!! I love them!! And they survived the squash vine borers because of their ability to put out new tap roots and leave the damaged parts behind. They did well in my red Georgia dirt! A garden treat, that I’m still enjoying today in February because they keep well on the counter for months! Ohh and, yes, the ones I had to pick green at the end of the season were great green AND at all stages of ripening over the weeks on the counter! Love these and love not worrying about squash vine borer invasions!! Though of course I’ll still be on the lookout for them.

Southern Maine

Bought a package of these seeds because we've had it bad with vine bores and we threw these in the ground later than we wanted or could have. We could have put hem in the ground here in early May but we got them in end of June and have had one of the hottest summers in years. All the other squash winter varieties we grew got taken over by the vine bores. My housemate kept telling me we would get squash from their plants of other varieties but they didn't make it while my Seminole squash is taking over and I'm thrilled we will have some squash. One of the main runner vine is now over 20' with many squash and a few offshoot runners now. I'm hoping that we can keep this going at least another month or so or maybe longer. It's mid August now and we started in late June. Hardly watered it and it seemed to take a long time to sprout and was afraid wouldn't get anything. We are definitely going to grow this next year and much earlier, maybe start and then transplant even tho it says direct sow.
