Overview
Blue Prince F1 is a 2020 AAS national winner from Seeds By Design, a Cucurbita maxima pumpkin in the Jarrahdale style with light blue skin and deep orange flesh. The flattened round fruit measures about 12 inches across and 7 to 10 lb, with a sweet, savory flavor and smooth, creamy texture that judges liked for eating as well as display. Trailing vines run 5 ft or more, so allow room; no staking. Sow once soil reaches 65 F for harvest in about 110 days from seed or 90 from transplant. It tolerates powdery mildew and resists southern root rot, and trial growers noted it flowered and fruited well ahead of comparison varieties.
