Squash 'Delicata' Irish Seeds

Condition: New

‘Delicata’ is a squash from the courgette family (Cucurbita pepo) so has a bush growth habit. For this reason, they are efficient with space and won’t sprawl all over the place like pumpkin plants. Fruits are small (400-600g) and long with yellow-green stripes. They store very well but not as long as pumpkins. An heirloom variety, the flavour is excellent and approaching sweet potato. ‘Delicata’ squash have a reputation as one of the best tasting squashes.

Sow from May in 9cm pots and plant out around 4 weeks later after hardening plants off a bit outside. Allow roughly a square meter of space per plant, for example, spacing plants 100cm apart within a row and with 150cm between rows.

Average 15 seeds per packet.
