Know before you buy
These seeds are best suited for direct sowing into the garden. Plant them at a depth of 1.25 to 1.5 inches once your soil temperature has reached a consistent 70-75°F.
To ensure healthy development and proper airflow, space your plants 36 to 48 inches apart within the row, with 6 to 8 feet of space between each row.
Silver Moon F1 is bred for intermediate resistance to common garden issues, specifically powdery mildew and zucchini yellows mosaic virus, which helps make the growing process more manageable.
You can expect to harvest your pumpkins approximately 100 days after planting. At maturity, they will typically weigh between 10 and 15 pounds.
These seeds are film-coated and treated to improve germination rates and provide early-stage protection against soil-borne pathogens. This ensures a more uniform and reliable start for your crop.
They are excellent for both. While the striking white exterior makes them a standout choice for fall displays, the interior features a flavorful, dark orange flesh that is great for culinary use.
