Emerald squash

Garden uses

Notes

'Emerald' squash (Cucurbita 'Emerald') is a vegetable for the food garden. 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, loamy soil. Plants bloom from early to late summer, so the flowers appear over many weeks. Wait to set out young plants until the chance of frost has passed.

Pairs well with Pepperoncini pepper, Clemson Spineless okra, and Ellagance Purple lavender.
