Lumina Pumpkins are flattened somewhat in shape, with a smooth rind that can be anywhere in colour from a pale golden to white tinged with blue to very white. A blue tinge is more likely to show up in cool, damp weather.
They have only slight ribbing.
They are about the size of an American basketball, 8 to 10 inches wide (20 to 25 cm), and weigh 18 to 20 pounds (8 ¼ to 9 kg.)
Inside, they have stringy yellow flesh. Some people say the flavour is delicious and use these as pie pumpkins; others say the flavour is weak and not worth bothering with, that these should be treated as ornamental pumpkins.
80 to 90 days from seed.
Protected Variety Plant.
