Butternut Rugosa – Italian Heirloom Butternut Squash Seeds
Butternut Rugosa is a very large butternut-type squash with distinct ribbing and a ‘wrinkled’ skin. This Italian butternut squash is much sweeter and more flavorful than the common butternut squash plant, making it a unique and delicious addition to your garden. Highly productive and an excellent keeper, this variety matures in approximately 100 days.
Growing Information:
- Cultivate like any other winter squash or butternut squash plant.
- Plant after the last frost in full sun with rich, well-draining soil.
- Requires ample space due to its large, sprawling growth habit—plant 3-6 feet apart.
- Direct seed at 1-inch depth and thin to at least 3 feet apart.
- For short-season regions, start indoors and transplant 3-4 week-old seedlings carefully.
Each 5-gram packet contains approximately 35 seeds (7-15 seeds per gram). Perfect for gardeners in the United States looking to grow a traditional Zucca Butternut Rugosa. These butternut squash seeds are a great choice for anyone interested in authentic seeds from Italy.
