Eight Ball squash

Garden uses

Notes

'Eight Ball' squash (Cucurbita 'Eight Ball') is a vegetable for containers and food gardens. 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 has a bush habit, so it fits in a smaller space than a vining squash. Plants bloom from early to late summer and are ready to pick in about 40 days.

Pairs well with Sweet Success cucumber, Basil, and Scotch Bonnet pepper.
