Description

The pumpkin Valenciano is a beautiful variety that originates from Spain and is easily recognized by its light grey to almost white skin and its round, slightly flattened shape with distinct ribs.

Beneath the pale exterior lies deep orange flesh that is sweet, firm and full of flavor.Valenciano is appreciated both for its appearance and its excellent keeping quality.

It is perfect as a decorative pumpkin but equally lovely in the kitchen where it works beautifully in soups, pies, purées or roasted dishes.

The flavor is mild and sweet with a subtle nutty note that comes through nicely when cooked.

This pumpkin produces large, elegant fruits that can be stored for a long time after harvest, a true autumn favorite that combines beauty with exceptional taste.

Care and cultivation advice

Propagate indoors in moistened potting soil or vegetable soil, one seed per seed pot. Cover the seed with a transparent cover with air holes for best germination, but it is also possible without. Place the seed around 25°c before germination and around 20°c and as bright as possible after germination. A tip to get thick and lush seedlings is to use plant lighting or make sure they are in a really sunny window. Once the roots are peeking out the bottom of the seed pots, it's time to transplant them to larger pots or planters.

Plant out when the seedlings have hardened off properly in a warm and sheltered outdoor location or in a greenhouse. This variety needs a lot of space to grow and produce fruit in a sunny, sheltered position. Pumpkins thrive best in a sandy or light loamy soil. The variety needs plenty of nutrients and water throughout the summer season. Fertilizing many times is a good tip for a successful harvest! This variety likes to climb, so if you have problems with slugs, for example, you can use a trellis or other type of plant support that the vines can climb on.
