Notes
'Mexicana' zucchini squash (Cucurbita pepo 'Mexicana') is a vegetable for container growing and the food garden. 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 bears yellow and green flowers from early to late summer. This summer squash matures in 48 days.
Pairs well with Diva cucumber, Cannellini bean, and Purple Ruffles basil.
