Notes
'Yankee Hybrid' squash (Cucurbita 'Yankee Hybrid') 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, so you can expect flowers for much of the growing season. Wait to plant it outdoors until the weather has warmed and frost danger has passed.
Pairs well with Straight-8 cucumber, Popcorn shoot, Thai basil, and Creeping thyme.
