Bay Baby Produce’s Ornamental Pumpkin Seed Kit features three different varieties of pumpkins that are ideal for fall season home décor. With each packet containing 10 seeds, you’ll have plenty to cultivate a garden bursting with texture, color, and creativity.

Bumpy

The aptly named Bumpy pumpkin is a true standout, adding texture and vibrancy to any display.

These summer squashes start their life in deep green shades, evolving to a stunning dark orange as they mature.

With shallow ribs and an unmistakable bumpy surface, they’re perfect for giving depth and character to your autumn arrangements.

  • Average size: 5 x 5 inches per fruit, with multiple fruits per plant
  • Days to harvest: About 110 days
  • Decorative appeal: Deep orange skin with raised textures

Pair them with smooth skin pumpkins or other ornamental gourds for a balanced and eye-catching arrangement. Their pie-pumpkin size also makes them a favorite for ornamental purposes, whether for festive table décor or porch displays.

Squidmo

If you love playful, unusual pumpkins, meet Squidmo!

This sea-creature-inspired pumpkin variety resembles a starfish in shape and comes in a kaleidoscope of colors.

With a unique look that invites conversation, Squidmo adds a quirky, fascinating element to your garden and decorations.

  • Average size: 5 x 5 inches per fruit, with multiple fruits per plant
  • Days to harvest: About 90 days

Squidmo pumpkins thrive in spaces highlighting diversity of shape and color. Use them alongside miniature pumpkins or bright orange pumpkins for displays that feel whimsical and festive.

Snowbaby

For those who adore elegant, minimalist décor, the Snowbaby pumpkin is the perfect choice.

This lovely heirloom pumpkin variety boasts smooth white skin that stays true to its clean, bright color throughout the season.

Whether you’re accenting fall displays or planning a winter-white wedding, these winter squashes are a must.

  • Average size: 5 x 5 inches per fruit, with multiple fruits per plant
  • Days to harvest: About 100 days
  • Decorative appeal: True white skin and round shape perfect for sophisticated displays

Pair them with golden orange fruits like the Cinderella pumpkin (rouge vif d'etampes) or butternut squash for striking visual contrast. Snowbaby’s small size also makes it great for creating indoor centerpieces or grouped displays with other autumnal ornaments.

Planting Instructions for Your Pumpkin Garden

Successful pumpkin cultivation requires a few essential steps, and we’re here to help you every step of the way. Follow these guidelines to nurture strong, vigorous plants that produce healthy pumpkins.

Soil Preparation and Planting

  • Choose well-drained, rich soil and ensure full sun exposure to maximize growth.

  • Wait until all danger of frost has passed, ensuring your soil temperature is above 70°F. This encourages faster, more consistent germination.

  • Sow seeds directly into the soil, planting them about 1 inch deep and spacing each plant 2-3 feet apart. Provide plenty of space for semi-bush vines to spread.

Watering and Disease Prevention

  • Keep the soil consistently moist without overwatering to avoid diseases like powdery mildew.

  • Water your pumpkins in the early morning, giving the foliage time to dry out during the day. This reduces the likelihood of fungal infections.

  • Watch for pests like squash bugs and use cultural controls to protect your plants from damage.

Harvesting

Your pumpkins will be ready for harvest once their colors fully mature. For Bumpy, look for its signature dark orange hue; for Squidmo, its bold, multicolored skin; and for Snowbaby, its vibrant white color. Cured correctly, they’ll last beautifully indoors or outdoors in any autumn-themed display.
