  • Squash Crown Prince F1 is a popular and reliable winter squash variety, prized for its rich, sweet flesh and excellent storage qualities. Producing attractive, well-shaped fruits, this variety is ideal for roasting, soups and hearty autumn and winter dishes, making it a firm favourite with home growers.

  • This vigorous plant performs well in open ground and allotments, spreading freely and producing a generous harvest through the season. Once cured, the squashes store exceptionally well, allowing you to enjoy homegrown produce for months after harvest.

  • Light Required Full sun in a warm, sheltered position

    Watering Water regularly during growth and fruit development, keeping soil evenly moist, especially in warm weather.

    Best Growing Conditions Grow in a sunny, sheltered position in fertile, well-drained soil. Water consistently, particularly during dry spells, and feed regularly to support healthy vine growth and fruit development. Harvest in autumn once the skins are fully hardened and store in a cool, dry place.
