Cinderella pumpkin, also called Rouge Vif d'Étampes, is a French heirloom popular in Paris in the 1880s and introduced to the United States in 1883. Its deeply ridged fruit measures 12–24 inches across and weighs 15–20 pounds.
The moderately sweet pumpkins suit baking and canning, while their vivid form makes them useful for carved or uncarved autumn decoration. The plants tolerate heat and humidity.
