Harris Seeds Pumpkin Cannon Ball Seed

While these pumpkins are primarily bred for their decorative appeal, their sturdy handles and uniform shape make them excellent for painting and seasonal displays. They are not specifically bred for culinary use, so they are best reserved for aesthetic purposes.

Because these are vigorous bush plants, you should space them 36 to 48 inches apart within the row, with 6 to 8 feet between rows. This spacing ensures the plants have enough room to thrive and produce their full yield.

The film coating is a protective layer applied to the seed that helps improve germination rates and provides a more uniform start. It makes the seeds easier to handle and helps them establish more reliably in the soil.

You can expect these pumpkins to reach maturity in approximately 110 days after planting. It is important to ensure your soil temperature is between 70-75°F when you sow them to keep them on track for that harvest window.

The Cannon Ball F1 variety offers intermediate resistance to powdery mildew, which helps the plants stay healthier throughout the growing season. While this provides a layer of protection, it is still good practice to monitor your plants for any signs of disease.
