Notes

'Kurinishiki' squash (Cucurbita 'Kurinishiki') 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. This hybrid is ready to harvest about 95 days after planting.

Pairs well with Green bean, Scotch Bonnet pepper, and Thai basil.
