Pumpkin – Jarrahdale (Heirloom)
$5.50
Unit price per(Cucurbita maxima)
Rich in flavour and visually striking, Jarrahdale Pumpkin is a classic heirloom variety originating from Western Australia. Known for its distinctive blue‑grey skin and deeply ribbed, flattened shape, it stands out both in the garden and in the kitchen.
Beneath its unique exterior lies dense, vibrant orange flesh with a smooth texture and a naturally sweet, nutty flavour. This makes it an excellent choice for roasting, soups, baking, and hearty winter dishes.
Jarrahdale is a vigorous grower with long, spreading vines that produce medium to large pumpkins, typically weighing between 6–12 lbs. It’s also valued for its excellent storage life, keeping well for months after harvest.
Reliable, productive, and full of character, Jarrahdale is a favourite for gardeners looking to grow a pumpkin that delivers both flavour and visual appeal.
