Butternut squash ‘Hidemi’ (Cucurbita moschata) 5 seeds

Butternut squash ‘Hidemi’ (Cucurbita moschata) is a variety developed in Japan. As the fruits ripen, they change color from dark green to beige-brown, with a distinctly ribbed, wrinkled surface. The fruits weigh about 1–1.5 kg. The variety develops relatively late but produces a large number of fruits. The plant has short, compact vines, so it can be planted more densely. The flesh is nutty, tender, and slightly sweet; very popular with children. ‘Hidemi’ stands out for its very long storage period.
