Winter squash 'Blue Hubbard'

Position in a full sun location and remember to water moderately. Blue Hubbard is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to ensure that temperatures are mild before moving outdoors. Blue Hubbard needs a soil ph of 6.1 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil).

Aim to sow 1.17 inches (3.0 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 2.28 feet (70.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 21°C / 70°F.

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

Very large pumpkins can reach fifteen to forty pounds each. Typically ready to start harvesting in 110 days.
