Hercules Butternut squash

Garden uses

Notes

'Hercules Butternut' squash (Cucurbita 'Hercules Butternut') 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. It blooms from early to late summer, so flowers appear for much of the growing season. Wait to plant it until the danger of frost has passed.

Pairs well with Cranberry bean, Cajun Belle pepper, and Dark Opal basil.
