Prefer a location in full sun and rich, well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0 to 7.0). Water regularly to maintain consistent moisture and fertilize moderately to stimulate optimal growth.
Harvest the fruits when they have reached their full size, with a bright yellow, hard skin. Their small size, vibrant color, and hardiness make them a great choice for Halloween decorations or activities.
Add the 'Sunlight F1' pumpkin to your garden for a bright and original harvest. Perfect for gardeners looking for diversity, it will bring an unexpected sparkle to your autumn arrangements.
