Flatso Pumpkin is a hybrid pumpkin variety with a flattened shape, similar to the popular Long Island Cheese Pumpkin. Flatso is a popular variety for roadside stands or farmers markets because of its ornamental and decorative appeal. However, it also makes a great pie pumpkin for backyard gardeners.
Flatso Pumpkin has semi-bush plants which produce flat, oval-shaped pumpkins that average 6-8 lbs each. Each plant will typically yield 3-4 pumpkins, which are consistent in size and shape. The stems are thin and are often cut short so that the pumpkins can be stacked for a decorative display.
