Notes
'Cocozelle' squash (Cucurbita pepo 'Cocozelle') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Its flowers attract bees. Rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It grows at a rapid rate, so give the vines room to spread.
Pairs well with Nasturtium, Borage, Scarlet runner, and Oregano.
