Ornamental pumpkins are used as durable, colorful decoration. They are usually rather small, multicolored, have a hard skin, little flesh and come in quite bizarre shapes. Do not grow them in the garden with zucchini or pumpkins, as cross-pollination may occur. Do not eat bitter tasting squash or zucchini. Try raw, as cooking can cause the bitterness to disappear. There is no clear distinction between pumpkins and ornamental pumpkins, as some pumpkins are also used for decoration. Well-known varieties are claw or crown pumpkins or green-yellow striped, often warty, pear-shaped decorative pumpkins.
