Description:
This unique, Japanese heirloom squash is making a comeback with foodies and gardeners alike, making it a conversation piece for decor. It starts with a deep, dark green, textured skin that ripens to a waxy tan-orange with thick ribs and a bumpy exterior.
Decorating Ideas:
The dual-toned ripening process and heavily ribbed, warted texture of the Kogiku make it a rustic and enchanting addition to harvest displays. Use it to add old-world charm to a table setting or porch arrangement, or showcase its unique evolution from dark green to tan-orange. Kogiku, or "Kongigu," is a traditional Japanese variety, and its bumpy texture and complex flavor were once valued by caterers.
