Cinderella Pumpkin, also known as Rouge Vif d'Etampes, is a classic French heirloom prized for its flattened, deeply ribbed shape and vivid red-orange skin. These distinctive pumpkins are as ornamental as they are edible, making them a favorite for fall displays, farm stands, and home gardens. The sweet, tender flesh is well-suited for pies, soups, and roasting, while the striking appearance adds old-world charm to seasonal decor.
Easy to grow from seed, this variety produces medium-to-large fruits that typically mature in about 95-110 days. The plants are vigorous vines that benefit from ample space and full sun. Whether you're a home gardener or a market grower, Cinderella pumpkins offer a rewarding harvest and a beautiful addition to any garden.

Planting & Care
Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, when soil has warmed to at least 70°F. Plant seeds 1 inch deep in hills or rows, spacing 36-48 inches apart. Keep soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Once seedlings are established, thin to the strongest plants.
Provide regular watering and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Cinderella pumpkins benefit from a sunny location with good air circulation. Harvest when the rind is hard and the stem begins to dry, typically in late summer to early fall. Cure fruits in a warm, dry place to improve storage life.
