Waltham Butternut butternut squash

Garden uses

Notes

'Waltham Butternut' butternut squash (Cucurbita 'Waltham Butternut') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It blooms from early to late summer. Wait until the soil warms before you plant it, so young plants avoid a late chill.

Pairs well with Super Chili pepper, Red Sails lettuce, and Ellagance Purple lavender.
