Description

Organic butternut squash seeds grow an open-pollinated Cucurbita moschata winter squash with tan, pear-shaped fruit and orange flesh. The vigorous vines need warm soil, full sun, and enough space to spread.

Butternut squash seed details

  • Growth habit: vining tender annual
  • Sun: full sun
  • Typical vine spread: about 10–15 feet

Sowing and harvest

Product guidance lists soil near 70°F, a planting depth of about 1 inch, germination in approximately 5–10 days under favorable conditions, and spacing of about 18–24 inches after thinning. The listed maturity range is approximately 75–100 days.

Direct sow after frost danger and after soil has warmed, or start indoors 3–4 weeks before the expected transplant window. Avoid unnecessary root disturbance, allow room for vines, and direct irrigation toward the soil. Harvest when fruit is mature and the rind has hardened, using clean cuts and leaving a short stem where appropriate. Germination, vine size, fruit set, and maturity vary with warmth, pollination, water, nutrition, and planting date.

Planting & Care

Soil & Water: Provide squash plants with deep mounds of organic matter, rich soil, and heavy, even water. All squash are extremely frost sensitive, so use mulch to heat soils in early spring and row covers to protect from frost at both ends of the growing cycle, especially in short growing seasons.

Planting & Growing: Start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost, or sow seed directly once soils are at least 70°F.

Harvesting & Storage: Harvest when stems begin to shrivel or you can no longer pierce the skin with a thumbnail, but be sure to harvest before the first hard frost. Cut squash from the vine leaving 2"-3" of stem attached. Allow to cure in the sun for 10 days to finish hardening the skins. Store in cool, dry conditions.
