"110 days. This stunning scarlet pumpkin is what the artist who drew Cinderella's coach used as a model. We introduced it to America in 1883, but it had long been popular in France. The pumpkins are slightly flattened, heavily ribbed and make wonderful autumn displays."

Unique, beautiful, and delicious pumkins,

"I love growing these pumpkins! They have a very unique look to them, with richer colored skin that varies between pumpkins from an almost red orange to a lighter orange that is still slightly darker than most pumpkins. (Makes for a colorful grouping display) The shape is also dramatically different than most Halloween types. They are more flattened with much more dramatic curves and ridges - and each of the ones I have grown have had their own unique look. I used these for my fall displays last year and everyone who saw them asked about them.
While you may be tempted to leave them all out for your diplays, be sure to cook a few up for recipes as well. I've used these in pies and soups and found them to be very flavorful! As an aside, on a recent trip to France I was surprised to see these being grown in a lot of country gardens - including the gardens at Versailles Palace (see picture)."

"These pumpkins are beautiful with dark orange skin. I decorated my front porch with them for fall and got lots of compliments. They also have dark orange flesh and were very tasty."
