Each packet contains 10 seeds.
The plants can reach up to 45cm (18in) in height and 200cm (79 in) in spread when fully established.
You can sow seeds indoors from April to May, or directly outdoors in May once the soil has warmed.
Germination takes approximately 5-7 days.
Butternut Squash Hunter thrives in warm, well-drained, humus-rich soil.
They need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Ensure the soil is well-drained and amend it with compost or other organic matter to enrich it.
Ensure the soil is kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. Check the temperature – it should be between 20-25C (68-77F). Ensure the seeds are not buried too deeply.
Make sure plants are getting enough sunlight (at least 6 hours). Ensure plants are adequately pollinated; hand-pollination may be necessary.
Inspect plants regularly for pests and diseases. Use appropriate organic control methods as necessary. Ensure good air circulation to help prevent diseases.
