PUMPKIN SEEDS KORONIASTA, 2g
A high-quality, medium-early, and exceptionally productive variety of ornamental mini pumpkins that captivates gardeners, florists, and creative individuals worldwide with its exclusive, royal shape and vibrant color palette. The name of the variety, Koroniasta (meaning "crowned"), fully reflects its unique visual image – the fruits develop in an unusual, star-shaped or spiky form, visually resembling small, luxurious royal crowns. This mix stands out in the garden with its strong growth vigor, robust vines, and ability to provide an exceptionally generous and exciting harvest, where each fruit is like an inimitable work of natural art. The Toraf 2-gram package guarantees excellent seed quality and high germination rates for a successful and creative gardening season.
- Premium decorations and floristry: This is florists' and interior designers' favorite pumpkin. Its unique crown shape and vibrant hues make it an exquisite element for autumn compositions, table settings, window displays, and home interior accents.
- Autumn celebrations and photo zones: A perfect choice for creating a vibrant, textured, and eye-catching accent in the yard, on the terrace, or at festive event photo booths, attracting the attention of every passerby.
- Children and creative activities: The small, unusual, and "spiky" crown pumpkins evoke immense delight in children. They are excellent for painting, crafts, and developing children's imagination in autumn creative workshops.
- Greening fences, gazebos, and trellises: As the fruits are small and light, this variety is excellent for vertical cultivation, allowing the vines to weave along fences or gazebos, creating a fabulous "hanging crown" green wall.
- Unique and exotic crown shape: The fruits are distinctly aesthetic and unusual – they form symmetrical, upward-pointing outgrowths (protuberances) around their edges, resembling crown points, making them completely different from ordinary round pumpkins.
- Splendid and diverse color palette: From one packet, you will get a wide spectrum of shades – the fruits can be monochromatic (bright yellow, white, orange, green) or playfully bicolored, adorned with contrasting stripes, spots, and streaks.
- Exceptionally high and generous productivity: A strong plant can yield an abundant harvest in good conditions – dozens of miniature crown pumpkins, providing a large quantity of decorative material for the entire autumn and winter.
- Incredibly long shelf life: Thanks to their very hard and thick skin, these decorative pumpkins can stand perfectly as an interior design element at room temperature for many months – even until next spring – without decaying or spoiling.
- Excellent seed germination and vigor: Toraf seeds are characterized by high germination energy, ensuring strong and dynamic development of new plants already in the seedling phase.
- Product type: Ornamental crown pumpkin variety seeds for open fields and vertical trellises.
- Brand: Toraf.
- Variety: Koroniasta (Crown of Thorns type mix).
- Maturity time: Medium-early variety (approximately 95-105 days).
- Fruit appearance: Star-shaped/crown-shaped mini pumpkins in various color combinations with characteristic bumps.
- Fruit weight: Miniature size, averaging 100 – 300 grams.

- Seedling cultivation: For a safe and earlier harvest, sow seeds in individual seedling pots at the end of April or beginning of May, about 2 cm deep. Ensure constant warmth (+22°C to +25°C) and moderate humidity.
- Planting in permanent location: Hardened young plants are planted in garden beds or near fences in the second half of May or early June, when the risk of spring frost has completely passed. The recommended planting distance in the bed is about 80x100 cm.
- Location and soil selection: Requires a sunny, warm, and sheltered location. The soil should be loose, fertile, and rich in organic matter. Important tip: Providing vertical supports (trellises, fences, nets) is highly recommended for this variety. This not only saves space in the garden but also protects the small fruits from contact with damp soil, ensuring that their skin and colors remain perfectly clean, bright, and undamaged.
- Harvesting and storage: Harvest fruits in autumn (September/October) when fully ripe, before the first autumn frosts. Ripeness is determined by their intense coloring and the stem becoming hard and corky. Always leave a small stem when harvesting. To maximize storage life, it is recommended to keep the pumpkins in a warm, dry, and well-ventilated room for a week before storing them, so that the skin fully hardens and cures.
Store seeds in a dry, cool, and dark place in their original, tightly sealed packaging until sowing. Protect from moisture and direct sunlight.
