Planting & Care

Sow Small Sugar Pumpkin 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 24-36 inches apart. Keep soil evenly moist during germination, which typically takes 7-14 days. Once seedlings emerge, thin to the strongest plants. Provide consistent watering throughout the growing season, especially during fruit development. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest when the rind is hard and the stem begins to dry, usually 90-110 days after planting.

For best results, plant in a location with full sun and good air circulation to prevent disease. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer according to soil test recommendations. Avoid overhead watering to reduce foliar diseases. Small Sugar Pumpkins are relatively low-maintenance and reward gardeners with abundant, sweet fruit.
