Grow a Gourmet Pumpkin with a Hint of Chestnut!
Potimarron, also called Red Kuri or Hokkaido Pumpkin, is a small, teardrop-shaped heirloom pumpkin known for its smooth orange skin and rich, sweet flesh with a nutty flavor. Popular in French and Japanese cuisine, it's perfect for halwa, creamy soups, purees, roasting, and baking.
This open-pollinated, non-GMO variety grows well in Pakistan’s spring and monsoon seasons, and is suitable for pots, beds, or small spaces due to its compact vine size.
