Notes
'Marmalade' kabocha squash (Cucurbita maxima 'Marmalade') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It climbs and grows at a rapid rate, so give the vines room to spread. Coral flowers open from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Popcorn shoot, Suyo Long cucumber, and Lime basil.
