Notes

'Cue Ball' squash (Cucurbita pepo 'Cue Ball') is a vegetable for container growing and the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It is a summer squash that is ready in 48 days. Yellow and green flowers open from early to late summer.

Pairs well with Gardener’s Delight tomato, Purple Ruffles basil, and Marketmore 76 cucumber.
