A New Fall Favorite: The White Pumpkin




Orange is so yesterday. White pumpkins, once a novelty, are becoming increasingly common in pumpkin patches, and these intriguing white orbs are all the rage when it comes to chic autumn decorating. Maybe it's the ghostly way they stand out on a dark night, or perhaps it's the clean smoothness of their appearance, which sparks creativity. Whatever the draw is, white pumpkins are ideal for growing, displaying, carving, and eating.


What Is a White Pumpkin?

A white pumpkin is a pumpkin variety that has been selectively bred to feature white or ivory skin. The varieties widely range in size and shape. White pumpkins are also known as an albino pumpkin, ghost pumpkin, Snowball, Casper, Lumina, Baby Boo, and Cotton Candy Pumpkin.


Uses for a White Pumpkin

White pumpkins are awesome for carving because the skin is not quite as thick as an orange pumpkin's. They are even better for painting, whether you stencil a design or transform them to match your decor by painting them any solid color of your choice.


White pumpkins provide great contrast in fall gourd and pumpkin displays at your home or business. They're elegant unadorned as a table centerpiece, and monogrammed white pumpkins can be used as fall wedding decorations. However, don't be afraid to think outside the Halloween box. A white pumpkin tied with a red velvet ribbon and positioned atop evergreen boughs would make a lovely holiday season decoration. Like many gourds, white pumpkins stored properly can last through the winter months.


If you are looking to add some class and a touch of subtle to your decor, look no further than a white pumpkin. We love using these beauties. Give us a holler, and we would love to add some to your landscape needs!
