Early White Bush Scallop | Premium Heirloom Summer Squash Seeds

Early White Bush Scallop is a historic, open-pollinated summer squash cultivated by Native Americans and in 16th-century Europe. Its flat, disk-shaped fruits have deeply scalloped edges and ripen from pale green to creamy white. At full maturity, they measure 5-8 inches across and about 3 inches tall, weighing 2-3 pounds; harvest at 4-6 inches for tenderness. The mild, sweet, nutty flesh is firm, tender, and creamy when cooked. Compact bushy plants need less space than vining squash.

Germination: 7–14 days to sprout

Maturity: 42–55 days from transplanting

Genus: Cucurbita pepo

Quantity: 25 Premium Heirloom Seeds

Appearance: Slim, golden-yellow fruits have firm, tender ivory-white flesh and small seeds when picked young.

Flavor & Uses: Its mild flavor is slightly sweeter than green zucchini. Grill, roast, sauté, or fry it, or slice thinly for fresh salads.

Growth Habit: This open-pollinated summer squash forms bushy plants about 2–3 ft. tall. Space plants 3–4 ft. apart and pick regularly to promote continued production.

Growing Notes: Sow outdoors after frost danger passes and soil warms to at least 70°F or start indoors 2–4 weeks before transplanting. Avoid disturbing roots during transplanting. Grow in rich, well-drained soil with 6–8 hours of full sun and consistent moisture. Harvest fruits at 6–8 inches long while the skin remains tender.
