Growing Autumn Frost Hybrid Winter Squash

‘Autumn Frost’ is a hybrid winter squash prized for its dusky tan rind, frosty wax bloom, and rich sweet flavor. Deeply ribbed, rounded fruits have smooth, dense flesh reminiscent of butternut, combining outstanding eating quality with striking ornamental appeal.

Start ‘Autumn Frost’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly where conditions allow. Plant seeds about ½ to 1 inch deep, space plants 24 to 36 inches apart, and grow in full sun. Semi-vining plants are well suited to containers and are noted for resistance to powdery mildew.

Ready to harvest in about 103 days, pick fruits once fully mature and their characteristic rind and waxy bloom have developed.

Sweet, dense, and versatile, ‘Autumn Frost’ is excellent for soups, roasting, grilling, stuffing, everyday cooking, fall displays, and storage.

Very prolific!

We planted three plants and got 25 of these autumn frost squash! We had a dry year and I just planted these, watered a few times and they just did wonderful. The pests didn't bother them and they seem like a low maintenance and low disease plant. They are also so beautiful with their frosty coloring!

Prolific and borer resistant

Growing squash in a hot humid summer is a fight against squash borer and squash bugs. This hybrid is great and prolific.

My new favorite winter squash

Delicious, productive plants, free of mildew that don't sprawl everywhere. I've tried many winter squash over the years. This is the best I've tried.
