25 Galeux d'Eysines Pumpkin Seeds - French Heirloom Sweet Warty Pumpkins

Galeux d'Eysines is a distinctive French heirloom pumpkin prized for its sweet, smooth flesh and unusual warty skin. The name translates to "scabby from Eysines," referring to the peanut-like bumps that develop as the pumpkin matures. These medium-to-large pumpkins typically weigh 10-20 pounds and have a flattened, round shape with salmon-pink to orange skin. The warts are a natural characteristic and add unique visual interest to fall displays.

Beyond their ornamental appeal, Galeux d'Eysines pumpkins are excellent for cooking. The flesh is sweet, tender, and less stringy than many other varieties, making it ideal for pies, soups, roasting, and purees. This heirloom is a favorite among gardeners and chefs seeking both beauty and flavor.

Sow seeds outdoors after the last frost date, when soil temperature is at least 70°F. Plant seeds 1 inch deep in hills or rows, spacing 24-36 inches apart. For earlier harvests, start seeds indoors 2-4 weeks before the last frost and transplant carefully, as pumpkins dislike root disturbance. Provide consistent moisture, especially during flowering and fruit development. Mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Feed with a balanced fertilizer according to package directions. Harvest when the rind is hard and the stem begins to dry, typically 100-120 days after planting.
