Winter Squash 'Golden Hubbard'

Product ref: VEG27952

Availability: In stock

Winter Squash 'Golden Hubbard' is a heritage favourite, celebrated for its large, teardrop-shaped fruits with striking, orange-gold skin and distinctive knobbly texture. Inside, the flesh is dense, dry, and sweet, perfect for roasting, soups, or even baking into pies. These robust fruits can weigh up to 5kg and store superbly through the winter, making them a staple for cold-season cooking. It’s a reliable cropper with old-fashioned charm and unbeatable flavour.

 

Grow in full sun, in nutrient-rich soil with ample space for vines to spread. Water deeply and consistently, and harvest in autumn once skins harden and stems begin to shrivel.

 

Supplied in approx. 9cm pots.

Plant in rich, well-drained soil that receives full sun. Plants require enough space to grow to their full potential. Water regularly to maintain an even moisture level in the soil, and mulch to keep moisture in and prevent weed growth. Harvest the squash in late autumn, once the skin has hardened and it has reached its full colour.
