Casperita Hybrid Mini Pumpkin

‘Casperita’ is a hybrid mini pumpkin prized for its creamy white skin, uniform fruits, and compact growth. Smooth miniature pumpkins have an elegant ghost-like appearance, while dense, mildly sweet flesh adds excellent culinary value.

Start ‘Casperita’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly where conditions allow. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep, space plants 24 to 36 inches apart, and grow in full sun. Semi-bushy vines are well suited to smaller gardens and are noted for disease resistance.

Ready to harvest in about 85 days, pick fruits once the creamy rind has reached full color and the pumpkins are mature.

Charming, compact, and versatile, ‘Casperita’ is excellent for fall décor, tablescapes, market displays, roasting, baking, soups, and everyday cooking.
