Squash - Waltham Butternut Winter Seedling

Waltham Butternut is one of the most popular and reliable winter squash varieties out there, and for good reason. It's an heirloom that produces tan, bell-shaped fruits with smooth, deep orange flesh inside. The flavor is sweet and nutty, and the texture is creamy when roasted or pureed. Seeds came from a Sweet Yards organic seed pack.

These seedlings are well established and ready for the garden. Butternut does best in full sun with rich soil and plenty of room to vine out. It takes around 100 days to mature, so getting a head start with seedlings is a real advantage. The fruits store well for months after harvest, making this a great choice if you like having homegrown squash through the winter.
