南瓜 'Jarrahdale'

The seedlings handled a surprising late frost without any damage, which is exactly what I needed for my short growing season. The flesh is dense and sweet when roasted, much better than the bland grocery store varieties.

I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly these seeds germinated even in our short growing season. The cross between Blue Hubbard and Cinderella gives the fruit a beautiful blue-grey skin and dense, sweet flesh that stores for months.

The cold-climate resilience is the real selling point here—my patch sits in a frost pocket, and these vines still set fruit like champs. The Jarrahdale’s cross of Blue Hubbard and Cinderella shows in the thick, blue-grey skin that stores for months without turning mushy.
