Japanese Squash Plants - Mixed Set of 4

A bumper set of four Japanese squash plants:

Green Kabocha Plant x 2

The green skin and bright orange flesh of the Kabocha squash make for a very good looking vegetable that can weight up to 3kg with a diameter or 20 to 30 cm.

Packed with Iron, fibre, Vitamin c and is said to be great for boosting immunity as well as hair growth. Delicious when roasted or as part of a soup or for the more adventurous try fried squash fritters.

Ready to plant out once the last frost hard has passed by a week or two, we recommend an area of fertile soil that will drain well. This climbing plant will need the soil to be kept moist and protecting from pest pressure is advisable .

Happy in full sun or partial shade you can expect fruit weighing up to 1.5kg or around 15cm diameter.
