Category: Seeds

These bright orange tear-drop shaped pumpkins have striking dark green markings and sweet 2-5kg fruits. Not too big for table displays, so store them in the open and make a feature of your crop until it's time to cook! An American heirloom with a long and complicated past, the original seed was sourced from Missouri Valley in Nebraska, and after many years of trading and breeding, the resulting Hubbard cross combined the shape and flavour of these wonderful eating pumpkins, with the colourful skin of the original seed. The resulting pumpkin was named 'Lakota' in honour of the native tribe from that region.

Amelia Q. ★★★★★

Planted these in early summer and they've been a hit—each pumpkin has that sweet, bright orange flesh and the dark green markings really pop on the table. I've got a few around 3kg, perfect for decorating without taking over the whole counter.

Eli R. ★★★★★

The tear-drop shape with those dark green streaks makes them look almost too pretty to cut into, but the sweet flesh is perfect for roasting. I’ve got three sitting on the counter as a centerpiece until I’m ready to cook them, and they’re holding up beautifully.

Sofia F. ★★★★★

These tear-drop pumpkins are gorgeous on the shelf—the dark green markings against that bright orange really pop. The 2-5kg size is perfect for a table centerpiece without being awkward to move around.
