'Green Lightning F1' squash (Cucurbita pepo 'Green Lightning F1') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. 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 grows at a rapid rate and blooms from early to late summer. Give the vines room to spread, or train them to grow upward in a large pot.
Pairs well with Diva cucumber, Black Beans bean, and Holy basil.
