How to grow Summer squash 'Stripetti'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Stripetti is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Stripetti needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.6 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Growing Stripetti from seed

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 1.46 feet (45.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.98 inches (2.5 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 18°C / 64°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Stripetti about 14 days after your last frost date.

Transplanting Stripetti

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