Product Description

Ornamental Squash 'Black Futsu'
Curcurbita moschata

A perfectly petite sized squash, this heirloom looks like a painting. The dark green matte rind transforms to an orange chocolate-cocoa hue. The fruits are long lasting and great for eating. The flesh inside is golden with a sweet, buttery, nutty taste and is best baked or roasted.

How to Grow: 
Squash dislike having their roots disturbed and do best when direct-sown. Plant seeds directly into the garden after all danger of frost has passed.

Harvesting/Vase Life: 
Harvest when fruit is fully mature and the stem attaching it to the vine begins to turn brown. Cut the stems with a knife or pruning shears rather than pulling fruits off the vine. Stems should be cut to 3-4 inches. If not used right away, cure for storage by setting in a warm, dry location for 1-2 weeks.
