Description
These very pretty peach-sized squashes, for strictly ornamental purposes only, and of unknown identity, were discovered growing amidst marbled leaves in a single remote location along the shoreline of Lake Nasser in Egypt.
Sowing Advice
For best results, sow seeds in good light at any time onto a good soil-based compost. Cover the seeds with fine grit or compost to approximately their own depth. We recommend germinating at 15 to 20 degrees C. Seeds should ideally germinate in between 2 and 6 weeks although they make take considerably longer. Pot on seedlings before finally planting out into a container or a well-drained spot.
