Description
Hooligan Pumpkin Seeds 2025. Hybrid.
Approx. 10-12 seeds/pkt (15 seeds/gram)
Hooligan is a bi-coloured ‘Jack-Be-Little’ type with unique orange and white mottled colours, deeper ribbing and a better vine canopy-spread for improved fruit cover and heavier yields. A novelty pumpkin that is great for increasing sales in the ornamental market. Sow seed only when soil temperatures have been over 25° C for several days. Avoid poorly drained soil.
How to Grow
Pumpkin is a hot weather crop. They need full sun and deep, rich, well drained, organic soil with a pH of 5.5 to 6.5. Before planting, work in lots of compost. Sow seed directly outdoors from late May through early June 2.5 cm deep in hills 2.4 m apart with 4-6 seeds per hill. After germination, thin to 3 plants per hill. Seed can be started indoors 3 weeks before the plant out date. Pumpkins do not transplant well–use paper or fibre pots that can be set directly in the soil. Germination occurs in approximately 7 days.
