Premium Waltham Butternut Heirloom Harvest of Winter Squash Seeds

Waltham Butternut is a classic heirloom winter squash prized for its smooth tan skin, sweet orange flesh, and excellent storage qualities. Its bell-shaped fruits have long, solid necks and small seed cavities, making them a versatile choice for roasting, soups, and winter meals.

Germination: Approximately 7–10 days.

Maturity: Approx. 100–110 days to maturity, depending on growing conditions.

Genus: Cucurbita moschata.

Quantity: 25 Premium Heirloom Seeds.

Appearance: Produces smooth, tan, bell-shaped squash with elongated necks, rounded bases, small seed cavities, and dense orange flesh.

Flavor & Uses: Sweet and nutty with a fine-grained, creamy texture when cooked; ideal for roasting, baking, soups, stews, purées, and pies.

Growth Habit: Vigorous, sprawling vines need generous growing space. Unlike compact summer squash, this winter variety develops fruits that remain on the vine until fully mature.

Growing Notes: Start seeds indoors 3–4 weeks before the last frost, or direct-sow after frost when the soil is warm. Plant in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil, keep consistently moist, and allow roughly 4–6 feet between plants.
