Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Mammoth is thought of as hardy, so this plant will grow or become dormant during the winter. A soil ph of between 6.5 and 7.0 is ideal for Mammoth as it does best in weakly acidic soil - neutral soil.

Growing Mammoth from seed

Sow at a depth of approx. 1.17 inches (3.0 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 4.94 feet (1.52 metres) between Pumpkin plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 21°C / 70°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Mammoth about 14 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Mammoth

As Mammoth is hardy, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
