Gorgeous Italian heirloom with a bubbled, deep blue-green rind is highly ornamental but also one of the best-tasting squash, with rich, sweet, dry golden flesh that’s excellent for soup, pasta, pies, or baking. High yields of the flattened 5-10 pound squash from vigorous vines. A good keeper whose flavor continues to improve in storage. 95-100 days from transplant. OP
Care: Plant 4-5′ apart in rows 6-8′ apart in full sun. Leave on the vine as long as possible, until rinds have hardened. Bring in after the first light frost, before rains.
