Look for unique varieties like:
- Cinderella Pumpkins – Their flattened shape and deep ribs make them a beautiful statement piece.
- Fairytale Pumpkins – A gorgeous choice for layered, sophisticated fall displays.
- Cheddar Pumpkins – Their warm coloring adds another dimension to a traditional pumpkin arrangement.
- Knucklehead Pumpkins – Their unusual texture makes them a fun conversation piece.
- One Too Many Pumpkins – A unique specialty variety for adding visual interest.
- Enchanted Pumpkins – Perfect for mixing into a display of different colors and shapes.
- Mini Orange & Mini White Pumpkins – Great for filling in smaller spaces, tablescapes, planters, and layered displays.
Don’t be afraid to mix several varieties together. Combining different sizes, colors, shapes, and textures is one of the easiest ways to make a pumpkin display feel full and thoughtfully designed.
Don’t Forget the Gourds
Gourds are the finishing touch that can take a pumpkin display from simple to spectacular.
Our Ornamental Gourds come in a variety of shapes, colors, and patterns, making them perfect for filling the spaces between larger pumpkins or creating smaller decorative groupings.
For a more collected look, combine Large Premium Gourds with Specialty Gourds and Mini Gourds throughout your display.
Add Height with Straw Bales & Corn Stalks
If your fall porch feels a little flat, bring in some height and structure with Straw Bales and Corn Stalks.
Straw bales create an instant foundation for pumpkins and gourds. Stack or layer them to create different levels, then arrange pumpkins across the top and around the base.
Together, pumpkins, gourds, straw bales, and corn stalks create the quintessential fall porch decorating combination.
