Notes
'Winter Blush' winter squash (Cucurbita maxima 'Winter Blush') 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. The vines climb and grow at a rapid rate, and the plant blooms from early to late summer. Fruits take 95 days to reach maturity.
Pairs well with Manitoba tomato, Glass Gem corn, Purple Ruffles basil, and Fernleaf dill.
