Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Yellow, White, and Green Pattypan varieties?
All three are disc-shaped squash with scalloped edges, but they differ in color, flavor nuance, and maturity time. Yellow is the sweetest and most colorful; White is mild and classic; Green is slightly larger and especially disease-resistant. All are equally delicious and productive.

When should I plant Pattypan Squash seeds?
Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost when soil temperature reaches at least 60°F (15°C), or start indoors 2–3 weeks before the last frost date. These squash thrive in warm conditions and grow quickly once established.

How do I know when Pattypan Squash is ready to harvest?
Harvest when fruits are 2–4 inches in diameter for the best flavor and tenderness. At this size the skin is still soft and the flesh is sweet. Larger fruits become tougher and more seedy, though they are still edible.

Are these seeds organic and non-GMO?
Yes. These are open-pollinated, organic Pattypan Squash seeds with no genetic modification. You can save seeds from your harvest to replant in future seasons.

How many plants will 20 seeds produce?
With a germination rate of 90–95%, you can expect 18–19 healthy seedlings from a pack of 20 seeds. Each plant is a prolific producer, so even a small planting will yield an abundant harvest throughout the season.
