Marina di Chioggia - Winter Squash Seeds
🚚 FREE SHIPPING for all orders over $79!
Marina di Chioggia looks like a barnacle-covered sea creature—warty, slate-green skin hiding dense, chestnut-sweet flesh. A Venetian heirloom often sold sliced at Italian markets for gnocchi and ravioli.
Fruits weigh 6–10 pounds and store for months. Squash supplies beta-carotene and fiber; this one supplies dessert-worthy flavor. It’s ugly on the outside, but pure gold in the pot. Squash brings abundance, color, and real pantry usefulness to the garden.
Every order is packed with care by our small team in Pennsylvania and typically ships within 2–3 business days—often by the next business day. We ship throughout the United States using USPS and UPS.
Unopened items may be returned within 30 days of delivery. If an order arrives damaged, incomplete, or incorrect, please contact us so we can make it right.
We stand behind every packet we sell. Our seeds are carefully selected, tested for germination, untreated, and guaranteed to be true to variety.
Your seeds are covered for one year from the date of purchase. If they fail to germinate under reasonable growing conditions, arrive damaged, or do not grow true to type, contact us and we’ll make it right with a replacement, store credit, or refund.
Start seed indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-85 degrees. Transplant to the garden 2 to 3 weeks after your average last frost. Or, plant seeds directly in the garden 1-2 weeks after average last frost date. Sow 3-5 seeds per hill, thinning to a final 2-3 plants per hill. Winter squash grow best in a warm site with full sun. Warm soil is essential to good seed germination and emergence. Using transplants can speed production.
