Notes
'Lemon Sun' patty pan squash (Cucurbita pepo 'Lemon Sun') is a vegetable for container gardens 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 grows at a rapid rate and gives yellow and green blooms from early to late summer. This summer squash takes 50 days to maturity.
Pairs well with Diva cucumber, Cannellini bean, and Purple Ruffles basil.
