Will F1 pumpkin seeds regrow if i save them from year to year?

I was trying to buy pumpkin seeds online for next year and some say F1 and I was wondering if these F1 seeds are able to grow the following years if i keep saveing pumpkin seeds each time. And I know nothing about pollination or anything so i am not willing to do it. I just want to plants the seeds and keep harvesting new seeds each year you know?|||An F1 plant is a cross between two different parent plants. You can save the seeds and they will grow, but the resulting plants may not grow true to type. If they were further crossed with another variety there is no telling what the result will be. It may be similar to what you planted, the plant it crossed with or combinations of each. Some very unusual and unique varieties have been developed by crossing; try the seeds and see what you get. It may be better than the original.





Good luck and enjoy!
