Squash Winter - Buttercup

Squash Winter – Buttercup

Buttercup Squash is a popular winter variety known for its dark green rind and exceptionally sweet, creamy orange flesh. This compact, turban-shaped squash stores well after harvest and is perfect for roasting, baking, soups, and fall dishes. Buttercup plants are vigorous and productive, producing medium-sized fruits that mature late in the season and provide excellent flavor for winter use.
