Bon Bon Hybrid Winter Squash Seed

Productive, High-Quality Buttercup Type

  • Sweet flavor and creamy texture
  • Upright, semi-bush habit
  • All-America Selections winner
One of the best buttercup squash types we've tried, Bon Bon Hybrid Winter Squash bears larger, 4- to 5-lb. fruits than standard buttercups. This All-America Selections winner has deep orange flesh that is smooth and deliciously sweet at harvest and after storage—and it's packed with vitamin A. Bon Bon's upright, semi-bush habit takes up less space than other vining types of squash. The vigorous, 8- to 12-ft. vines are easy to grow and not highly susceptible to diseases. Its fruits mature about a week earlier than other buttercup varieties. 95 DAYS.
