The Starke Ayres Pumpkin Star F1 Hybrid is a strong-growing, high-yielding variety, widely appreciated for its uniform fruit size, disease resistance, and culinary versatility. It is best sown in seed trays or directly into well-drained soil, ensuring a spacing of 90 cm between plants and 150 cm between rows.
Seedlings require consistent moisture during germination, taking approximately 5–10 days to sprout. Pressing down the soil after sowing enhances root establishment, while regular watering supports vigorous plant growth.
Harvesting occurs approximately 90 days after planting, producing firm, round pumpkins ideal for soups, baking, and long-term storage.
