If you’ve got the space for it to sprawl, ‘Jumbo Pink Banana’ will reward you with a unique and bountiful harvest! Height: 60cm (24in). Maximum spread: 6m (20ft).
Extremely easy to grow and untroubled by pests, winter squash are reliable and rewarding vegetables that should not be overlooked. Highly versatile and bursting with vitamin A, they are superb roasted, mashed or baked and make wonderful soups and stews. All they need is room to ramble!
