Squash 'Harlequin'
Availability: Out of stock
Squash 'Harlequin' is a delightful variety characterised by its compact size and distinctive mottled green and cream coloured skin. This winter squash is ideal for roasting, baking, and stuffing because of its smooth, tender texture and sweet, nutty flavour. The pretty fruits are also great as accent pieces for displays in the autumn. "Harlequin" yields a consistent crop and is a prolific producer.

Supplied in approx. 9cm pots.
Plant in rich, well-drained soil that receives full sun. Give plants enough room to spread out as they grow. Water regularly to maintain an even moisture level in the soil, and mulch to keep moisture in and prevent weed growth. Harvest, usually in late autumn, when the fruits are fully coloured and the skin has hardened. For one week, let it cure in a warm, dry place before storing it in a cool, dark place.Â
