Chieftain butternut squash seeds produce classic tan butternuts on powdery-mildew-tolerant vines, a Cucurbita moschata hybrid that also carries the squash vine borer resistance moschata is known for. Smooth, nutty flesh built for roasting and soup.
Well suited to Kansas heat and humidity (Zone 6b). Direct sow after frost or start indoors about 3 weeks early. Roughly 80 days to maturity, early for a butternut, with good storage life. Fruit runs a uniform 2 lbs on a compact, powdery-mildew-tolerant plant.
An F1 hybrid selected for powdery mildew tolerance and uniform fruit. The plant stays compact for a moschata, so it suits a smaller plot better than a full-size butternut vine does. See our growing guides to get started.
Hand-packed fresh in Newton, Kansas. 10 or 20 seeds per pack.
