Description
Sebring Squash Seeds 2215. Hybrid.
Approx. 12 seeds/pkt (10-12 seeds/gram)
Sebring is a premium hybrid golden zucchini that stands out for its exceptional uniformity and vibrant colour. This variety produces straight, 20 cm long fruits with a brilliant golden rind and virtually no green tips. Inside, the creamy white flesh offers a mild, delicious flavour and a tender texture perfect for grilling, sautéing, or baking. Because Sebring is bred for tolerance to Powdery Mildew, the plants remain healthy and productive much longer into the season than standard varieties, ensuring a steady supply of fresh squash.

What you need to know to Plant & Grow
As a hot-weather crop, Sebring squash thrives in the heat and requires rich, fertile soil.
-
Sow Outdoors: Direct sow from late May to mid-June once the soil has warmed. Plant 2.5 cm deep in hills spaced 2.4 m apart.
-
Sow Indoors (Optional): Start seeds indoors 3 weeks before your transplant date. Because squash roots are sensitive, use fibre or paper pots that can be planted directly into the soil to minimize transplant shock.
-
Germination: Typically occurs in 5–10 days.
-
Thinning: If direct sowing, plant 4–6 seeds per hill and thin to the 3 strongest plants after germination.
-
Care: Provide Full Sun and deep, well-drained soil rich in organic matter (compost). Maintain a soil pH between 5.5 and 6.5.
-
Harvest: For the best flavour and texture, harvest fruits when they reach 20 cm. Regular picking is essential to maximize your total yield.
