Butterbush Butternut Squash (F1) seeds
These are perfect for container gardening or for those who are limited on garden real estate or only have a balcony or small porch. The Butterbush is hybrid butternut squash that is extremely compact. Each squash weighs in at a meager 1.5 lbs., perfect for a single serving.
Each squash is petite with pale-cream-colored skin while the inside has succulent, dense, sweet dark orange/copper flesh. Since these are smaller that means they mature faster as well. This also makes them ideal for folks with shorter growing seasons. A 5 - 7 gallon container will accommodate this variety if you are growing in containers.
