Product description
Pumpkin 'Goosebumps' is a hauntingly unique variety that brings eerie charm to your autumn garden. Its deeply textured, warty skin and rich orange colour make it a standout for Halloween displays, spooky centrepieces, and creative carving. Each fruit is compact yet bold, with a gnarled surface that looks straight out of a witch’s fairytale, making it perfect for adding drama to seasonal décor. Beyond its creepy looks, 'Goosebumps' also delivers in the kitchen. The flesh is sweet, smooth, and ideal for roasting, soups, or baking into autumn favourites like pumpkin pie and muffins.
Sow seeds indoors from April to May or directly outdoors from May to June, once the soil has warmed. Plant indoor-sown seedlings out from late May when the risk of frost has passed, placing 2 or 3 seeds in each position. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with fertile, well-drained soil and space plants 60cm apart. Outdoor seedlings should be thinned to one plant per station as they develop and grow. Water regularly during dry spells and feed as fruits begin to swell for best results. Harvest from September to October when the skin is firm and fully coloured.
Easy to grow and full of character, 'Goosebumps' is a must-have for gardeners who love a mix of fun, flavour, and festive flair. Whether you're decorating for fright night or cooking up comfort food, this Pumpkin adds a deliciously spooky twist.
