The Galeux d'Eysines pumpkin, also known as the "Warty French Pumpkin," is a unique and visually striking heirloom variety from the Bordeaux region of France dating back to the 1800s. Its pale orange skin is covered in wart-like bumps, which develop as the pumpkin matures and are the result of its high sugar content. The flesh is sweet, fine-textured, and moist. Sow in Spring/Summer.
