SQ764A - Total Eclipse
Dark green, pie-shaped scallopini squash with pure white flesh and superior flavour at immature or full-grown size. Plants are upright and open, so the fruits are easy to see and pick. Total Eclipse pattypan squash seeds replaces Starship as a dark green scallopini. Our favourite use is picking them shortly after pollination, when the fruits are still tiny at only 5cm (2") across. At this stage they are incredibly tender and delicate, and they make a stunning side dish for any meal. Total Eclipse's hybrid vigour means that the plants are very productive and the squash are nice and uniform.

How To Grow
The three species of squash that we offer represent a wide variety of shapes and colours. Each will cross-pollinate readily within their species. For instance, all C. pepo will cross-pollinate with each other, but not with C. maxima or C. moschata. For people who want to save their seeds, this is a very important consideration. The fruits themselves will not be affected by cross pollination, but the seeds inside will be, so squash need to be grown in isolation from other members of their species if seed saving is the goal. Follow along with this handy How to Grow Squash from seeds Guide and grow food.
