Musquée de Provence Pumpkin Seeds
Traditional French Heirloom | Rich Flavor | Stunning Garden Showstopper

Bring timeless beauty and rich culinary heritage to your garden with Musquée de Provence Pumpkin Seeds, a treasured heirloom from the sun-drenched fields of southern France. Known as the Fairytale Pumpkin, this variety is famous for its deeply ribbed, cheese-wheel shape and its dramatic transformation from forest green to a warm, burnished bronze as it ripens.

At Matches Seeds, we believe in sharing seeds that spark joy—and Musquée de Provence delivers just that. These pumpkins are as striking in the garden as they are delicious in the kitchen. Their fine-grained, sweet orange flesh is perfect for baking, roasting, or turning into velvety soups. In Provence, they’re even eaten raw in thin slices for their mild, nutty flavor.
