Atlantic Giant Hybrid
Pumpkin Seeds
Cucurbita maxima
(Hybrid) 120 days
Capable of growing to 800 or more pounds, most of the largest pumpkins in the world come from this seed. 50 and 100 pounders are common, and with fertile soil, ample irrigation, wide spacing, and thinning to 1 fruit per plant, many home gardeners have grown 200-300 pounders. Atlantic Giant Hybrid is an improved selection of Dill's Atlantic Giant, from Howard Dill of Nova Scotia.
