Caserta squash

Garden uses

Notes

'Caserta' squash (Cucurbita 'Caserta') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It blooms from early to late summer. Plant it after the weather warms and the last frost has passed so cold cannot harm the young plants.

Pairs well with Carmen pepper, Thai basil, and Crimson Sweet watermelon.
