About this seed
Pumpkin butternat (Cucurbita moschata) seeds for garden cultivation.
Also known as: butternut squash, butternut pumpkin, winter squash, musk squash, kaddu, kashiphal, calabaza and courge musquée.
Pumpkin Butternut produces medium to large pear-shaped fruits, typically weighing 1–2.5 kg (2–5.5 lbs). The smooth, beige skin is easy to peel, and the interior is filled with rich, deep-orange flesh with a small seed cavity, maximizing edible content. The plant has vigorous vining growth, requiring ample space for development, and exhibits strong resistance to common squash diseases, making it well-suited for diverse growing conditions. Sow seeds directly into warm, well-drained soil once temperatures consistently exceed 18°C (65°F). Space plants 1.5–2 meters (5–6.5 feet) apart to allow for healthy vine expansion. The plant requires full sun and consistent watering, especially during fruit development. Butternut squash matures in 90–110 days, and proper curing enhances its storage life, allowing it to be kept for several months.
Sow according to your local season and climate. Use clean, well-drained growing medium, keep moisture even without waterlogging, and adjust light, temperature, and spacing to the needs of the crop. Germination and plant performance naturally vary with seed treatment, weather, soil, and care.
