C. pepo. Benning's Green Tint is a pretty little pale green, almost white, elegant scallopini that grows on a tidy, productive bush. We recommend harvesting this squash a day or two after pollination, when the fruits are tiny and tender, with very appealing flavour raw or cooked. If left to mature, Benning's develops a "belly" that can be carved into a unique serving dish for summer soups and salads. This is an old heirloom variety that was first introduced around 1914. The large bush type plants are vigorous, so be sure to give them lots of space.
