Butternut is a popular winter squash variety with smooth tan skin and sweet, orange, nutty-flavored flesh. Perfect for roasting, soups, and baking, it’s valued for its excellent storage and versatile culinary uses. Hardy and productive, this squash thrives in warm, sunny gardens and sprawling vines.
Planting season: Spring to early summer Germination time: 7–12 days Position: Full sun, fertile, well-drained soil Days till maturity: 100–120 days Plant height: Sprawling vine up to 4–5 meters
Growing instructions: Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost, spacing them 1 meter apart. Provide plenty of room for vines to spread and water consistently during flowering and fruit set. Mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest when the skin is firm and fruits sound hollow when tapped.
