Harris Seeds Blue Hubbard Squash Seed

Because this is a vining variety, it requires significant room to spread. You should space plants 36 to 48 inches apart within a row, with 6 to 8 feet between rows, making it best suited for large garden plots or along sturdy fence lines.

The New England strain of Blue Hubbard is prized for its exceptional shelf life. When stored properly in a cool, dry place, these squash can remain flavorful and intact for up to six months after harvest.

These squash thrive in full sun and require soil temperatures between 70-75°F for optimal germination. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist throughout the growing season to support the plant's vigorous vining habit.

The seeds are film-coated with a treatment designed to protect them from soil-borne diseases and pests during the critical germination phase. This helps ensure a higher success rate when planting directly into the garden.

This variety takes approximately 110 days to reach maturity from the time of planting. Given this longer growing season, it is best to plant them in the spring once the soil has warmed sufficiently.
