Grow Open-Pollinated Squash - Plant Honeynut Squash Seeds

Adorable 4" - 5" long mini butternut squash grow on trailing vines making this the perfect crop to grow in smaller gardens for a smaller family. Because of Honeynut's small size and low weight, the fruit will not rip off the vine if planted to trail up a fence or trellis. Wonderfully sweet, look for rind to turn a rich burnt orange at maturity. Bred for a resistance to powdery mildew.

  • • Vining Variety; Mini Butternut; Great for Small Gardens
  • • Rich Burnt Orange Skin with Wonderfully Sweet Orange Flesh
  • • Powdery Mildew Resistant; Prefers Full Sun Exposure
