Harris Seeds Squash Autumn Cup F1 Seed

Pelleted seeds are coated in a clay-based material to make them larger and more uniform in shape. This makes them much easier to handle and space out accurately during planting compared to raw, irregular seeds.

While the plants have a compact, semi-bush habit, they still require significant room to thrive. You should space plants 36 to 48 inches apart within a row, with 6 to 8 feet between rows to ensure proper airflow and growth.

These seeds are specifically intended for direct sowing into the garden soil. Because they are a squash variety, they prefer to be planted directly where they will grow to avoid transplant shock.

You can expect the fruits to reach maturity approximately 95 days after planting. Since this variety is ideal for a fall harvest, plan your planting date accordingly based on your local first frost date.

For the best results, ensure your soil temperature is between 70 and 75°F. Plant the seeds at a depth of 0.75 to 1.0 inch, and you should see germination within 6 to 12 days.

This hybrid was developed by Dr. Brent Loy to feature a unique 'bottom button' on the fruit, which increases the amount of edible flesh. It combines a compact growth habit with superior flavor and a deep, sweet orange interior.
