Moranga Pumpkin

C. maxima heirloom pumpkin with roots in Brazil, predating European contact. The name "moranga" means pumpkin in Portuguese, reflecting its heritage. This variety excels both as a cooking pumpkin and ornamental display piece, thanks to its deep lobes and striking pinky-orange exterior.
Expect vigorous, highly productive plants with an unusually high number of male flowers. Fruits range from 4-8 lbs and develop light-coloured stripes as they mature, indicating where the lobes naturally separate. Sweet flesh and pleasant texture make it ideal for cooking, while its distinctive appearance adds visual appeal to any garden or harvest display.
