Delicata Winter Squash Seeds produce a time-tested heirloom variety first introduced in 1894 and still valued for its sweet flavor, manageable size, and reliable storage qualities. Delicata squash develops oblong fruits with hard yellow skin accented by green stripes, protecting the rich orange flesh inside. With a naturally high sugar content and a flavor often compared to sweet potatoes, this winter squash is well suited for roasting, baking, and long-term storage for cold-season meals.

How to Grow Delicata Winter Squash:
Plant seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, once soil temperatures are warm. Grow in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil. Provide adequate spacing for vines and water consistently throughout the growing season. Allow fruits to fully mature on the vine for best flavor and storage potential.
Harvest & Use:
Harvest when the rind is firm and deeply colored. Cure briefly, then store in a cool, dry place. Delicata squash can be roasted whole or sliced, baked, frozen, or canned for long-term use.
