About This

• Large, Flavorful Harvests: Big Chief F1 produces impressive 4–5 lb butternut squash with dense, golden-orange flesh. Its mild, sweet flavor is perfect for roasting, baking, or using in soups and hearty fall dishes.
• Nutrient-Rich & Vitamin A Packed: A healthy addition to your garden, this variety offers excellent nutritional value. Each fruit is loaded with vitamin A and essential nutrients, making it as beneficial as it is delicious.
• Vigorous Vining Growth: This herbaceous annual grows as a sprawling vine that trails or climbs using tendrils. Give it room to spread or provide vertical support for efficient garden space management and air circulation.
• Warm-Season, Frost-Sensitive Crop: Best grown in full sun and fertile, organically rich soil with a pH of 6.0–6.8. Direct sow into warm soil after the final frost or start indoors using a seed starter kit for stronger transplants.
• Protective Growing Tips: Maintain soil moisture and temperature with mulch, and protect young plants with row covers if temperatures fall below 50°F. Fruit sets best when daytime temps range from 68–72°F and nights between 60–65°F.
