Pumpkin, Jap ‘Coventry’ (Cucurbita pepo)
‘Jap’ type pumpkins have delicious flavour and good keeping qualities. This variety has been bred to retain an attractive mottled blue-green skin colour through to maturity, with a small seed cavity, deep orange flesh colour, good vine vigour and excellent yields. Coventry is 7-10 days later to ripen than other varieties, so should be started earlier in cool regions.
