Winter squash 'Orange Hokkaido'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Orange Hokkaido is thought of as tender, so it is imperative to wait until temperatures are mild before planting out of doors. Orange Hokkaido requires a soil ph of 6.1 - 7.5 meaning it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Ensure a distance of 2.28 feet (70.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 1.17 inches (3.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 21°C / 70°F to ensure good germination.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Orange Hokkaido is a tender plant.
