Grow it on the Patio!
Squash Balmoral Hybrid
The fruit sets along the stems like Brussels Sprouts, saving space and simplifying harvest!
Just 2 feet high and wide in containers, larger in the garden.
70 days. Balmoral is a space-saving Pattypan Squash with a unique fruit set: the big, scalloped white fruits arise along the stems, like Brussels Sprouts! Instead of the plant sprawling, it grows in a neat and compact fashion, studded with huge 6- to 8-inch-diameter pattypans!
When grown in containers, this plant reaches about 2 feet high and wide. In the garden, it will be somewhat larger (3 to 4 feet). A summer squash with mild flavor, Balmoral grows readily and sets very high yields. Try out this space-saver on the patio or in the vegetable patch this season! Pkt is 15 seeds.

A Winner in Every Way
I grew this late last summer in a decorative 20 in. container. Not only did it provide lovely squash with great flavor, the plant itself was beautiful and had the appearance of a large tropical houseplant. I look forward to growing it again.
