Know before you buy
These squash are fast-growing and typically reach maturity in approximately 50 days from planting.
These seeds are intended for direct sowing into the garden. For best results, ensure your soil temperature is between 70-75°F before planting.
To ensure healthy airflow and growth, space your plants 24 to 36 inches apart within the row, with 3 to 5 feet of space between each row.
While they are delicious raw or grilled when harvested young, the mature fruits develop a firm texture that makes them excellent for seasonal ornamental displays.
The F1 hybrid designation indicates that these seeds have been cross-bred for specific traits, providing you with increased plant vigor and more uniform, consistent fruit production compared to open-pollinated varieties.
