☀️ Grown on our Central Florida Homestead ~ Florida Licensed Seed Dealer ~ Germination Tested ~
A treasured Florida native heirloom trusted for centuries. These vigorous, open-pollinated vines thrive in hot, humid Southern climates where other squash often fail. Naturally resistant to squash vine borers, tolerant of downy mildew, and highly productive, Seminole Pumpkins are one of the most dependable Non-GMO heirloom pumpkins for Florida, Southeastern, and Southern gardens.
Round to pear-shaped fruits develop with rich, deep-orange flesh that is sweeter than butternut—perfect for baking, roasting, soups, and pies. Known as one of the best long-storage pumpkins, Seminole fruits can keep for up to a year at room temperature, making them invaluable for homesteads and food security.
A true heritage variety, Seminole Pumpkins were traditionally grown by the Calusa, Creek, and Miccosukee tribes and remain a legacy crop for modern Southern gardeners.
☀️ FLORIDA GARDENER TIPS:
Florida’s temperate climate allows for two main growing seasons. For best results, direct sow in late February / early March once the risk of frost has passed. For fall planting, direct sow seeds again from late August through September for a dependable fall harvest.
