Pumpkin ‘Queensland Blue’ is a classic Australian heirloom variety known for its striking blue-grey skin and deep orange, sweet, and fine-textured flesh. It stores exceptionally well and is excellent for roasting, soups, and baking, making it a versatile kitchen favorite. Vigorous and hardy, this pumpkin thrives in warm conditions and produces large, round fruits.
Planting season: Spring to early summer Germination time: 7–12 days Position: Full sun, rich well-drained soil Days till maturity: 110–120 days Plant height: Sprawling vine up to 5 meters
Growing instructions: Sow seeds directly outdoors once the danger of frost has passed, spacing them 1 meter apart in rows or hills. Provide plenty of room for vines to spread and water consistently, especially during fruit set. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest when the skin is hard and fruits sound hollow when tapped.
