Winter squash 'Confection'

Position in a partial sun location and remember to water moderately. Confection is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Confection needs a soil ph of 6.1 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil).

Sow 1.17 inches (3.0 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 2.28 feet (70.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 15°C / 59°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Confection about 10 days before your last frost date.

Confection is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
