Pumpkin 'Cinderella' Seeds (Naturally Grown)

The Cinderella Pumpkin, also known as 'Rouge Vif d'Étampes' (meaning "vivid red of Étampes"), is a beloved French heirloom pumpkin cherished since the 1880s. Its smooth, vibrant orange skin, deeply ridged texture, and distinctive flattened shape create a stunning autumn centerpiece and famously inspired the fairy-tale carriage in "Cinderella." Typically measuring 12–24 inches across and weighing 15–20 pounds, it's a striking addition to seasonal displays, whether carved, painted, or presented naturally.

Beyond its enchanting appearance, the Cinderella Pumpkin offers rich culinary value. Its deep-orange flesh is moderately sweet, perfect for baking, canning, soups, purees, and especially pumpkin pies. The pumpkin's sturdy shell can even serve as an elegant soup tureen, adding a whimsical flair to fall gatherings. Originally a staple in Parisian markets before being introduced to the United States in 1883, the Cinderella Pumpkin continues to delight gardeners, chefs, and enthusiasts alike with its exceptional taste, versatility, and timeless charm.
