Planting & Care

Sow Sunburst squash seeds outdoors after the last frost date, when soil has warmed to at least 60°F (15°C). Plant seeds 1 inch deep in groups of 2-3 seeds, spacing groups 24-36 inches apart. For earlier harvests, start seeds indoors 2-3 weeks before transplanting. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Harvest fruits when they are 2-4 inches in diameter for best flavor and texture. Regular harvesting encourages continued production. Monitor for common pests like squash bugs and cucumber beetles, and provide good air circulation to reduce disease pressure. Sunburst squash is a warm-season crop that does not tolerate frost.
