About This

• Distinctive Blue-Hued Giants: This organic heirloom variety produces large, pale blue fruits with a hard, warted rind that sets it apart visually in the garden. Each squash reaches 15 to 30 pounds, making it a standout both in size and color among winter squash varieties.
• Rich, Nutty Golden Flesh: Inside the tough shell lies thick, smooth, golden flesh with a semisweet, nutty flavor similar to pumpkin. It's perfect for roasting, baking, steaming, or pureeing into soups, stews, casseroles, breads, and sweet seasonal treats.
• Nutrient-Dense and Versatile: In addition to its culinary appeal, Hubbard Blue squash is packed with nutrients—high in fiber, protein, magnesium, potassium, vitamins B6 and C, and carotenoids like beta carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin. Even the seeds can be roasted for a wholesome snack.
• Open-Pollinated and Seed Saver Friendly: This heirloom is open-pollinated, allowing you to collect seeds that grow true to type. Each plant produces 3 to 5 large fruits and can be grown sprawling on the ground or vertically with support to save space.
• Easy to Grow, High-Yielding Crop: Start seeds in warm, fertile, well-drained soil after frost has passed. Plants thrive in full sun with moderate moisture and a soil pH of 6.0 to 6.8. Avoid overwatering to ensure strong growth and long-lasting storage-quality fruits.
