Pumpkin 'Small Sugar'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Small Sugar is thought of as half hardy, so remember to protect this plant from frosts and low temperatures.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 2.34 inches (6.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.2 inches (0.5 cm).

As Small Sugar is half hardy, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out (around 16°C / 61°F as a guideline) - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by late autumn.

Small Sugar pumpkins have been grown in the US at least since the Civil War.²
