An heirloom variety of summer squash that is prized for its creamy flesh and dark green skin. A reliable, hardy and productive plant that fruits early and will continue to produce for many months. Flowers are a culinary favourite and are often cut and stuffed.

Use free draining soil well intergrated with compost or good quality potting mix when growing in pots. A good technique is to sow the seed, at 2-3cm in depth, directly into small mounds of compost that will ensure adequate nutrition and drainage. Hand pollination recommended. Nasturtium is a great companion plant, with best food partners being dill, mint and fritters!
When to plant (see zone map to find your zone):
Zone 1: October - December
Zone 2: September - December
Zone 3: August - February
Zone 4: February - November

Good quality
All planted just waiting to see the results
This has been my most successful plant (living in the tropics). She is a bit of a sun hog and tries to take over the whole garden but has produced lots of delicious zucchini.
