Squash 'Nutterbutter'
€3.45
Butternut squash is easy to grow, producing pear-shaped fruits with dense, sweet orange flesh and thin skin. Butternuts need hot conditions to ripen so are more suited to being grown outdoors in milder regions but grow very well in polytunnels. ‘Nutterbutter’ has a shorter maturation period so this variety can also ripen in less ideal conditions. Each pack contains 10 seeds. More details below
