Cucurbita maxima

Annual plant, open pollinated. Vining squash.

Classic heirloom winter squash produces 3-5 pound flattened turban type fruits. The rind is deep greenish blue, and it has a cute blue-gray button on the blossom end. Flesh is orange, dense and smooth, quite sweet. Dozens of fruits per vine. The fruits store well for months. 

20 seeds per pack.

Days to Maturity: 85. 

Seed starting:

Start indoors 3 to 4 weeks before last frost. Sow 1inch deep - they like warm soil to germinate. Plant out once the soil is warmed, after all danger of frost. You can also directly seed them in your garden once the soil is warm. They will not tolerate frost. Space plants 5ft apart for vining types, and 3 ft apart for bush types.
