Pumpkin ‘Lakota’

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.
