Speckled Pup Squash Seeds

They are both. While their unique speckled appearance makes them excellent for autumn decor, they are a variety of Kabocha squash and are delicious when roasted or used in soups.

This packet contains 25 seeds. Assuming a standard germination rate, you should expect a generous yield, though we recommend planting a few extra seeds to account for natural variability.

Being an F1 hybrid means these seeds were bred for specific, consistent traits like disease resistance and uniform fruit size. While they provide a reliable harvest, you should not save seeds from the resulting squash, as they will not grow true to the parent plant next season.

Like most winter squash, these are vining plants that require room to spread. Plan for at least 6 to 8 feet of vine length per plant, or provide a sturdy trellis if you want to grow them vertically to save ground space.

The 85-day estimate is a baseline under ideal growing conditions. If you live in a region with a shorter growing season or cooler nights, expect the maturity time to stretch slightly longer.
