The Story
Cucurbita pepo.
- Assortment of winged gourds.
- Shaped like a swan.
- Fall colours.
- Matures in 100 days.
- Full Sun.
Autumn Wings is an assortment of small, winged gourds of bright yellow, orange, green and cream, the colors of fall. Shaped like a swan, the base is 6-7cm (2.5-3") across with necks 10-12.5cm (4-5") long. Wait to harvest until fully mature to avoid damaging wings.
Approx. 10 Seeds
Direct sow or transplant in late spring once the soil is warm. For transplants, start seeds indoors during the first two weeks of May. Optimal soil temperature: 25-35°C (77-95°F). Seeds should germinate in 7-14 days.
Sow seeds 2cm (1″) deep. Sow 3 seeds in each spot where you want a plant to grow, and thin to the strongest plant. Space summer squash 45-60cm (18-24″) apart in rows 90-120cm (36-48″) apart. Give winter squash and pumpkins even more room with a minimum of 90-120cm (36-48″) apart in rows 120-180cm (48-72″) apart.
