Notes
'Cotton Candy' squash (Cucurbita pepo 'Cotton Candy') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and ground cover. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It sits low on the menu for rabbits. It grows rapidly and draws bees to its summer flowers.
Pairs well with Scarlet runner, Borage, and African marigold.
