Pumpkin Queensland Blue

Pumpkin Queensland Blue is a classic heirloom pumpkin with real presence, both in the garden and on the table. Its ribbed green skin slowly fades to a steely blue-grey as it matures, revealing deep orange flesh that’s rich, dense, and full of flavour. This pumpkin variety is a go-to for growers who want reliable yields and excellent keeping qualities. Once harvested, the pumpkins store for months, making them a practical and beautiful addition to your autumn pantry.

These vigorous plants need plenty of sun, warmth, and room to sprawl, so give them space to stretch out and they’ll reward you with impressively sized fruit. As they grow, you’ll notice their distinctive leaves and vibrant yellow flowers, which bring pollinators into the garden.

Queensland Blue isn’t just for large plots, raised beds and sunny corners work just as well with proper support and planning. The result is a versatile pumpkin with a rich, nutty flavour perfect for slow cooking, baking, or blending into soups. It’s a rewarding crop that brings rustic charm to every harvest.
