Cucurbita maxima, C. pepo
- Salmon pink kabocha
- Edible and ornamental

This pretty pink kabocha can be used for eating and decorating. Pink Panther's salmon pink skin encloses thick, flavourful flesh that is bright orange colour. Flattened and ribbed 1.25-1.75kg (3-5lb) fruit stacks well for fall displays. Full size vines produce good yields of these refined high quality squash.
5 Seeds
Summer Squash: Pick when small, if fruit gets big the plant stops producing. Check the plants regularly.
Winter Squash: Fruit is ripe if your thumbnail doesn’t mark the skin and the stem is dry and brown. Cut the stem about 4cm (2″) from the fruit. Squash survive a light frost, but store better if harvested before frost.
Direct sow or transplant in late spring once the soil is warm. For transplants, start seeds indoors during the first two weeks of May. Optimal soil temperature: 25-35°C (77-95°F). Seeds should germinate in 7-14 days.
Sow seeds 2cm (1″) deep. Sow 3 seeds in each spot where you want a plant to grow, and thin to the strongest plant. Space summer squash 45-60cm (18-24″) apart in rows 90-120cm (36-48″) apart. Give winter squash and pumpkins even more room with a minimum of 90-120cm (36-48″) apart in rows 120-180cm (48-72″) apart.
