Cucurbita pepo

Lady Godiva is one of the best-known naked-seeded (hull-less) pumpkin varieties, grown primarily for its exceptional edible seeds rather than its flesh. The oblong fruits ripen to orange with mottled green striping and are produced generously on vigorous vines, with each plant yielding up to 8 pumpkins in a good season.

While the flesh is stringy and not usually used for cooking, each pumpkin contains an impressive quantity of dark green, hull-less seeds - up to 450 grams per fruit. These seeds can be eaten straight after drying, roasting, or pressing for oil, making Lady Godiva a highly productive and rewarding crop for seed lovers.

Average number of seeds: 8

Open-pollinated, chemical-free seeds. Grown and saved in Wexford, Ireland. We only grow and save seeds from plants that were started from certified organic seeds.

Each seed packet includes growing tips and cooking suggestions inside.

  • Lady Godiva pumpkins love warmth and space. Sow seeds indoors into small pots using peat-free organic potting compost, keeping temperatures at 20°C or above for good germination. Sow seeds point-side down, about 1.5-2cm deep, and keep compost evenly moist.

    Grow plants on in good light, then harden off and plant out after all risk of frost has passed. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with fertile, well-drained soil, spacing plants 90–120cm apart. Water well during dry periods and allow fruits to fully mature on the vine.

    Sow indoors: April to early June

    Plant out: Late May to July

    Harvesting time: September to October

  • Lady Godiva is grown for its exceptional naked pumpkin seeds rather than its flesh. The dark green, hull-less seeds are rich in magnesium, zinc, iron, protein, and other valuable nutrients, making them both delicious and nourishing.

    Once harvested, scoop out the seeds, rinse clean, and dry thoroughly. Enjoy them raw, lightly toasted, or roasted with extra virgin olive oil and flaky sea salt. They’re excellent scattered over salads, stirred through granola, added to breads, pestos, and sauces, or simply enjoyed as a snack.

    To roast: spread dry seeds on a tray and roast at 200°C for about 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until golden and crunchy.
