Notes

'Ola Escaladora' squash (Cucurbita 'Ola Escaladora') is a vegetable for 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 as a vine and blooms from early to late summer. Give the vines room to climb or sprawl.

Pairs well with Armenian cucumber, Ancho pepper, and Creeping thyme.
