Be sure to check out our Summer Squash Growing Guide to learn more tips & tricks on successfully growing summer squash. Sunburst Squash is a hybrid "patty pan" type that was an All American Selections winner when released in 1985. This variety produces fruits that are bright yellow with small green rings in the center. Fruits have scalloped edges and are best harvested around 3-4" in diameter. Sunburst Squash is a heavy-yielding variety and will continually produce fruit well into the summer months. Patty Pan Squash has a nuttier flavor than traditional squash or zucchini, and is great when eaten raw or cooked. The texture is more firm and holds well during grilling or sautéing.

Once plants emerge, thin plants to one every 2 feet. Squash can be susceptible to plant diseases like downy mildew and powder
