Pumpkin Varieties: 90 Different Types of Pumpkin

Thinking of growing some pumpkin in your garden this season? Pumpkins are surprisingly easy to grow! But there are many different pumpkin varieties to choose from, which can make figuring out which one to plant a bit of a challenge.

Pumpkins are incredibly versatile. They can be used for fall decor, Halloween decorations, or cooking and eating. With so many different varieties to choose from, there are many options ranging from small, to extremely large, depending on your garden goals.

While most commercially grown pumpkins aren’t grown organically, pumpkins make an excellent option for starting an organic garden if you’ve decided to go that route.

We’ve compiled a comprehensive list of 90 different pumpkins you can plant in your garden this season. You’ll likely find the perfect pumpkin variety for your veggie patch, and will likely learn a few things about some cultivars you’ve never heard of before! Let’s jump in!

Appalachian

This variety is best used for carving during the fall season and Halloween time! If you enjoy making Jack O’Lanterns with your friends during the month of October, then you will love this Appalachian pumpkin. This specific type of pumpkin usually grows between 20-25 pounds and has deep orange skin.

The Appalachian pumpkin typically grows to full size within 95 days and comes in various sizes, shapes, and colors. Since they are versatile, they are fun to grow, great for carving, and suitable for teaching your kids about pumpkin carving.

Before purchasing, make sure you have enough room to grow and spread out since they can pollinate with other species.

Atlantic Giant

The Atlantic Giant is one of the biggest pumpkins you can purchase, with the world record reaching upwards of 1,469 pounds! This variety is high in fiber, contains various metals, and has bright orange-colored flesh.

Before you purchase the Atlantic Giant, you need to know how to take care of this plant. This variety requires 15-20 inches of water during the primary growing season.

Typically, this pumpkin grows to between 7-10 pounds and contains between 3-5 pumpkins per vine. When looking at types of pumpkins, the Autumn Gold is a real winner for those who want a pop of color in their garden.

Baby Bear

Baby Bear is a uniquely-shaped pumpkin that has a smaller base and a longer stem, making it easy for caring and transporting between locations. This All-America Selections winner is a deep orange color, features 1.5-2.5 pound fruits, and averages around eight pumpkins per vine.

For gardeners who want to eat pumpkin pies, we recommend the Baby Bear! Not only can you use it for decor on or outside of your house, but this variety is excellent for roasting and cooking.

This interestingly-colored pumpkin is unique compared to the other orange pumpkins on this list. Baby Boo is white and is typically used in Halloween decorations to add a spooky feel to your house.

This variety is an all-purpose gourd that typically ripens within 100-105 days. This is considered the best quality for pumpkin pies for cooking and baking on your own. With a bright orange color and deep skin, this pumpkin usually grows upwards of 4 pounds on average.

Batwing

If you love something unique and different, then Batwing has your name all over it. This variety usually develops within 80 days and reaches between half a pound and 1 pound at its maximum growth! Since this pumpkin is so tiny, it can work well for decorations inside your house in small spaces.

The unique coloring on the pumpkin, usually a combination of black and orange color, resembles a batwing. Although some will be completely orange and completely black, there is usually a unique mixture of both colors.

Blue Doll

Have you ever heard of a silver pumpkin? Well, now you have! Although it is called the ‘blue’ doll, this pumpkin features more of a silver finish than a bright blue or royal blue color. This greenish, silver, and blue pumpkin ranges between 15-20 pounds and tastes great in soups, stews, and pies.

Blue Hubbard

This type of pumpkin looks like a gourd and a pumpkin combination. The interesting shape, which is oblong and bumpy, makes it a unique decoration for your house or garden.

Butternut Squash

Butternut squash is one of the best pumpkin types to use for eating and cooking foods! The butternut squash makes excellent pumpkin pies and soups with plenty of vitamins, minerals, and a tasty flavor. We love how the nutty-tasting skin enhances the flavor of whatever you use it in. Butternut squash is a great source of fiber, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin C, and magnesium

This pumpkin has a unique color combination of green and tan. Although it can look like it is rotten, this pumpkin is perfect for eating! Native to the Philippines and Puerto Rico, this specific variety requires a long and warm growing season, making it popular in South America and hot climates.

Carnival

Similar in looks and taste to the Calabaza pumpkin, Carnival is also a mottled green, orange, and tan color on the outside. With the base color of green, the ribbing looking light tan, and specks of orange dotted on the skin, Carnival is excellent for eating and cooking.

The flesh of this variety is dry and coarse. Although this may not sound conducive to eating, this cooked squash is soft, tender, and tasty.

Casper

Casper the friendly ghost, right? Casper is a pie-size pumpkin that contains a short peduncle and white skin. This squash gourd is mainly used for decor and pies. Casper is white and gray, somewhat of ghostly color. For Christmas-themed types of pumpkins, this is one of our top options.

Crystal Star

The Crystal Star pumpkin is a medium-sized pumpkin that typically grows between 25 and 35 pounds when fully grown. Used specifically for Halloween and fall decor and carving purposes, this white pumpkin is one of the larger and taller pumpkins that you can purchase.

Cushaw

Cushaw is both unique and interesting! With green and white stripes and a gourd-like shape that is not like your ‘typical’ pumpkin, the Cushaw’s bottle shape makes unique fall decorations. Ranging between 7 and 25 pounds depending on the genetics and growing conditions, this pumpkin is good for cooking, but is not the best option for beloved pumpkin pies.
