Notes
'Crown Prince' squash (Cucurbita maxima 'Crown Prince') is a vegetable for the food garden. 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, loamy soil. It grows at a rapid rate and climbs, so give the vines a trellis or plenty of room. It blooms from early to late summer.
