Squash - Delicata

Squash 'Delicata' is a small, elegant winter squash producing long, tan and green-striped fruit up to 1 kg with an extraordinary flavour that belies its modest appearance. Once roasted, the sweet, dry flesh develops a rich, almost brown sugar and butter quality that makes it one of the most delicious and distinctive squashes available for the home garden. The thin, edible skin means no peeling is required, making it as convenient in the kitchen as it is rewarding to grow.

Perfectly sized for two, 'Delicata' is a practical and generous variety that thrives in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and consistent moisture through the growing season. A kitchen favourite that stores well after harvest and delivers outstanding flavour from summer through winter.
