Growing Red Kuri Hokkaido Winter Squash
‘Red Kuri Hokkaido’ is a winter squash prized for its striking orange-red skin and sweet, nutty flavor. Petite teardrop-shaped fruits weigh about 3 to 4 pounds and contain dense flesh ideal for comforting cool-season dishes.
Start ‘Red Kuri Hokkaido’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly where conditions allow. Plant seeds about ½ to 1 inch deep, space plants 18 to 24 inches apart, and grow in full sun. Vigorous vines offer both heat and cold tolerance.
Ready to harvest in about 95 days, pick fruits once fully mature and their characteristic orange-red rind has hardened.
Sweet, dense, and nutty, ‘Red Kuri Hokkaido’ is excellent for soups, roasting, baking, everyday cooking, and winter storage.
