Notes

'Ronde de Nice' squash (Cucurbita 'Ronde de Nice') 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 blooms from early to late summer. Fruits are ready about 60 days after planting, and the seed is open-pollinated, so you can save it.

Pairs well with Cannellini bean, Ghost pepper, and Holy basil.
