Big Max Pumpkin

A longtime favorite all-purpose pumpkin, Big Max Pumpkin bears huge, orange fruits—weighing up to 100 lbs. and sometimes more. The pumpkins make impressive jack-o'-lanterns and produce plenty of fine-grained, bright orange flesh that can be used for making lots of pies as well as for canning and freezing. To grow extra-large pumpkins, it's best to grow just one pumpkin per vine, to give the vines plenty of space and to water the plants during dry spells. 110 days to maturity.

Orders for in-stock seeds and hardgoods are typically shipped within 5 business days.

Plants will be shipped at the proper planting time for your area of the country during the shipping timeframes outlined below:
