Pumpkin 'Zeppelin Delicata'

Cucurbita pepo

‘Zeppelin’ Delicata Winter Squash or pumpkin (also known as Sweet Potato Squash) is prized for its sweet, rich, orange flesh and tender, edible skin. This heirloom variety has ivory-coloured oblong 500gram fruits with distinctive dark green stripes, 17-23cm long. Delicious! Up to 6 mature fruits per plant.

In storage the green stripes turn orange and the cream background sometimes yellows. Skin is tender enough to eat, the flesh is thick, a rich orange color, with a higher average brix than other available strains. Delicious roasted, stuffed, and made into pie!

Frank Morton made this the new standard by selecting the regional delicata strain for stocky plants.
