About the Plant

Porcelain Doll Pumpkin is a beautiful heirloom variety known for its soft pink skin and classic pumpkin shape. Originally developed to support breast cancer awareness, this pumpkin is cherished for both its meaning and its beauty. In addition to being highly decorative, it produces thick, sweet flesh that is excellent for baking, roasting, and purees.

How to Grow (Simple Steps)

• Start seeds indoors 2–3 weeks before the last frost or direct sow after frost.

• Sow seeds 1 inch deep in warm, well-draining soil.

• Ideal soil temperature for germination: 70–90°F.

• Transplant outdoors after all danger of frost has passed.

• Allow plenty of space for vines and provide consistent watering.

• Harvest when the rind is hard and fully pink, and the stem begins to dry.

Peruvian Kitchen Inspiration

While not traditional to Peruvian cuisine, Porcelain Doll Pumpkin works beautifully in soups, pies, and roasted dishes inspired by comforting squash recipes and seasonal cooking.
