Stella Blue Winter Squash Seeds
Stella Blue Winter Squash Seeds
Distinctive Winter Squash Choice
Discover the exquisite Cucurbita maxima variety, the Stella Blue Winter Squash seeds, known for their distinctive appearance and culinary versatility. Originating from the Americas, these seeds produce plants with sprawling vines that bear uniquely shaped, ribbed, blue-gray fruits. The elongated teardrop form, complemented by a pale blue-grey rind, distinguishes the Stella Blue Winter Squash from other varieties in the species.
This winter squash thrives in temperate climates, requiring full sun, well-drained soil, and ample space for its sprawling growth. Its adaptability allows it to flourish in diverse conditions, although it thrives in areas with warm summers. Planting in late spring once the soil has warmed ensures optimal germination.
Harvesting Stella Blue Winter Squash demands patience as the fruits develop over several months. A sign of maturity is when the skin hardens and the vines begin to dry. Harvest by cutting the fruits from the vines, leaving a few inches of stem intact, and curing them in a warm, dry area for enhanced flavor and extended storage.
Ideal for soups, roasting, and baking, the fine-textured, sweet flesh of the Stella Blue Winter Squash offers a rich taste, making it a favorite among culinary enthusiasts. Incorporating this unique winter squash into your garden not only provides a visual spectacle but also a delectable addition to your table.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil and Water: Fertile, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0–6.8 is best.
Planting and Growing: Sow indoors about 3 weeks before your last frost. Plants don't like their roots disturbed so you may want to start them in biodegradable pots or soil blocks. Harden plants prior to transplanting, set out after danger of frost has passed. Can direct sow when soil is 70°–85°F.
Harvesting and Storage: Harvest when the squash's rind is hard enough that you can't dent it with your fingernail and before first frost. Cut fruits from vines, leaving 2" of stem and handle carefully. Sun cure for 5–7 days or indoors by keeping squash at 80–85°F with good air flow.

from 9231 reviewsThe cute packaging caught my eye first. I love you can open it up sprinkle in the seeds you need to use, and then close it up for another time. It is compact and cute. I am eager to harvest my greens.
One of my favorites to grow…always get a good yield out of this one and the flavor is just…YUM!
I received these in August and they have braved the heat of the past 2 months. I have continued to water them to ensure they live. One tree looks much better than the other, although I see buds ready for next year on both. I can't wait for spring to see blooms, leaves and branches to begin.
huge bulbs made up of huge cloves; perfect quality for planting - very firm and paper in tact.
My order was prompt and just what I expected.
I purchased Elephant and Music garlic bulbs to plant in my zone 7 garden. They arrived as firm, healthy bulbs.
Heads were big with many large cloves. I am anticipating a great outcome in early summer 🧄
Our chickens love this forage.I was a little concerned growing this in south Florida however it is flourishing. Our new go to, thanks Peaceful Valley!
What a deal - top quality and only $20.99. Happy Frog is a premium brand.
I prepped my raised beds with Happy Frog Potting Soil. I love that it contains earthworms castings. Premium product!
Firm bulbs, excellent quality. I eagerly await the saffron harvest next Spring.
Lovely large bulbs, wonderful quality!
I planted a row of red chesnok. The color is stunning, excellent quality.
I just planted two rows of CA late white. Garlic bulbs look beautiful - great quality. Can't wait for harvest and for braiding time!
I have been ordering shallots from Grow Organic for a couple of years now. I had some problems with the shallots, I have to say they have the best customer service. I am a Master Gardener and have ordered 100's of different veggies seeds for years at many different companies as I buy seeds for the Master Garden's and never have experience such great customer service. I believe anything you buy from them you will be happy
