Cucurbita pepo Stars and Stripes grows best in warm, well-drained, and fertile soil. It can be started by:
Sow from the end of April, after which the young plants can be planted out after the last frost.
Sow directly from early May, as soon as the soil temperature has risen sufficiently.
For optimal germination, a temperature of 24–30°C is ideal. The seeds should be placed pointed-side down or flat and kept slightly moist, but not wet. After germination, the young plants should be placed in a brighter, cooler location to encourage compact, healthy growth.
Stars and Stripes has a moderately climbing habit, keeping the plant relatively compact. For optimal development and fruit set, a planting area of approximately 2 m² is recommended. This provides sufficient space for healthy leaf development, good air circulation, and maximum ornamental value of the fruits.
