Kiepenkerl Decorative Pumpkin- "Sweet Lightning"

These attractive Mini-Pumpkins are perfect for three uses:

1. A fast-growing vine for covering fences, walls and trellises.
2. As of July, you can harvest the pumpkins for cooking. They have a pleasantly mild tasting that is perfect for soups and stews, braising, for baking cakes and for filling.
3. If they are not picked, the fruits ripen and the rind grows harder. Then they can be stored for a long period and make great autumn decorations. The quirky shaped fruits keep for months and are also ideal for crafting. The deep furrows and bright yellow rind are complimented by orange stripes and spots to make them look especially friendly.
