Know before you buy
The petioles are the stalks that connect the leaves to the main stem. By removing the spines from these stalks, the plant is much less abrasive, which makes it easier to reach in and harvest fruit without scratching your arms or damaging the squash skin.
Spineless Beauty F1 is a relatively quick producer, reaching maturity in approximately 50 days after sowing.
These seeds are best suited for direct sowing into the garden once the soil has warmed to between 70-75°F. Direct sowing is recommended to avoid transplant shock, which squash plants can be sensitive to.
For optimal airflow and growth, space your plants 24 to 36 inches apart within the row, with 3 to 5 feet between each row.
Being a late-season producer means this variety is bred to continue setting fruit reliably even as the season progresses. Its open plant structure helps maintain consistent production throughout the warmer months.
Yes, you should cover the seeds with soil when planting. They do not require light to germinate, but they do need full sun once they have sprouted and are actively growing.
