  • Orange-speckled white mini-pumpkins
  • Delicious sweet flesh
  • Compact plants, good for smaller plots
  • Stores well

Pumpkin ‘Sweet Lightning’ is a fantastic winter squash producing small but perfectly formed mini-pumpkins around 11cm in diameter with orange-speckled white skin. The sweet flesh is delicious roasted and added to winter soups and stews.

The compact plants are ideal for smaller vegetable plots and the pumpkins will store well for several months.

Sow indoors

March-May: Sow 4cm (1 1⁄2in) deep in individual pots of pre-watered compost. Place in warmth 15-18°C (60-65°F). Keep soil moist at all times.

Sow outdoors

Plant out

Tips

Water well and feed regularly with a liquid fertiliser once the fruits start to swell.
