Grow Zone Recommendation: Growing summer squash is possible in many USDA zones. You can likely grow it where you are, depending on the variety.
Sunlight Needs: Like most vegetable gardening, summer squash requires full sun to thrive.
Watering Needs: Steady moisture is required, with frequent watering during hot and dry periods.
Average Size: Plants grow from 1 to 3 feet tall and 3 to 10 feet wide, depending on variety and growing conditions. Squash will grow to very large sizes if allowed, but the best flavor and texture result when harvested at around 6 inches in length.
Foliage Color: You’ll notice deep green foliage with large leaves, and a harvest of primarily yellow and green. Yellow flowers appear before vegetable growth begins.
