Success PM Yellow Summer Squash
50 days to harvest
Cucurbita pepo
If you struggle with powdery mildew, a) you’re not alone and b) this is the summer squash for you!
Deliciously smooth and straight yellow summer squash, Success PM Yellow Summer Squash is abundant longer into the season than most thanks to her resistance to powdery mildew. Success PM also has strong non-preference of cucumber beetles in Cornell’s squash trials, as well.
Released by Cornell, we’re grateful for the millennia of indigenous seedkeepers whose care and work have made it possible for modern plant breeders, like those at Land Grant Universities, to share such extraordinary varieties with their communities.
