ZUCCHINI – COSTA ROMANESQUE

Cucurbita pepo

A distinctive Italian heirloom bush zucchini with prominently ribbed fruit. The skin is medium grey-green with pale green flecks. It is delicious raw or cooked with a nutty flavor. The male flower buds are also eaten. It stays tender even when very large. It is a favorite of Jamie Oliver.

Sow in a good seed compost Germination usually takes 6-10 days at 24°C. Can also be sown where they are to crop in late winter/early spring. Sow 3 seeds every 60cm & thin out to the best seedling.
