Discover the exceptional flavour and storage capabilities of Squash ‘Crown Prince’ F1, a truly remarkable winter squash variety perfect for your garden. This variety is celebrated for its beautiful steel blue skin, which gives way to vibrant, sweet, and nutty orange flesh. Each fruit typically reaches a substantial 3-4kg, making them perfect for a variety of culinary uses, including hearty soups, delicious roasts, and satisfying stews. How to Grow: – Sow seeds under glass from April to May, or directly outdoors after the last frost. – Ensure plants are spaced adequately to allow for their trailing growth habit, which is ideal for larger gardens, allotments, or even spacious containers. – Choose a sunny position with well-drained soil. – Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to ensure optimal fruit development. – The maturation period is approximately 18-20 weeks. – Harvest from September to October, ensuring fruits are fully ripened on the vine for the best flavour and storage. – Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. ‘Crown Prince’ F1 offers excellent storage potential, keeping for over three months when stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location. This makes it a fantastic choice for enjoying homegrown goodness long into the winter months. Please note that images are for illustrative purposes only and represent mature plants.
