WEST COAST SEEDS SQUASH BUTTERCUP SWEET MAMA

  • C. maxima. Sweet Mama Kabocha squash seeds form single long vines with almost no side shoots. Each plant produces 1.3kg (3 lb) fruits with dark green, hard skins over sweet, nutty, deep orange flesh.
  • This AAS Winner has outstanding storage ability and flavour. Kabocha is sometimes called Japanese pumpkin. These are the squash most often used for tempura – thin slices are coated in batter and deep fried until just soft.
  • It's a wonderful way to accentuate the natural sweetness of the fruits.
  • Sweet Mama can be started indoors or direct sown. If direct sowing, be sure that the soil is nice and warm in late May or early June.
  • Train the vine along a fence or up a trellis.
  • Matures in 85-95 days. (Hybrid seeds)

    Growing Squash

  • Direct sow or transplant in late spring once the soil is warm. For transplants, start seeds indoors during the first two weeks of May. Optimal soil temperature: 25-35°C (77-95°F). Seeds should germinate in 7-14 days.
