Genetic Classification: Hybrid
Planting Instructions: After all danger of frost is passed and the weather has warmed, plant four to five seeds, 1 inch deep, in hills spaced 6 feet apart. When seedlings are 2 inches tall, thin to 2 plants per hill. Pumpkins prefer rich soil. Feed at planting time and again at the 4 to 5 leaf development stage.

Keep watered during the dry weather and cultivate or mulch to reduce weeds. Harvest fruit when skin has turned completely blue and it cannot be easily dented with your fingernail. Cut from vine leaving a two inch stem.

★★★★★ Good producer, tasty
By Caity (Junction City, OR) on November 19, 2024

The blue prince grew vigorously and produced well in our heavily mulched vegetable patch. We put in very little effort other than setting up the watering system and weeding or mulching occasionally. The flesh is dense and tasty, and carmelizes well when roasted in the oven. We got about four 10-15 lb pumpkins off of one vine. Definitely one variety I intend to grow again next year
