Acorn Squash Seeds – Cucurbita pepo Fruit Plant

Acorn Squash is a warm-season annual vine grown for its compact, ribbed fruits and vigorous growth habit. Plants develop trailing vines that spread across garden spaces and perform best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil. This variety is suitable for home gardens, raised beds, and open-field cultivation. Acorn Squash adapts well to warm growing conditions and produces fruits during the summer and fall growing season.
