Description

F1 hybrid. High yield and good taste. Open growth. Medium dark green, long fruits. Self-pollinating (parthenocarpic). Robust. Germination after 1-2 weeks at 18-22°C.

F1 Hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

Harden off before planting. Likes warm, wind-protected locations. Sensitive to frost. Several plants pollinate each other. Harvest regularly so new fruit will form continuously. Fertilize and water regularly. Follow crop rotation. Home-grown seeds are strongly discouraged for zucchini because the toxic bitter substance cucurbitacin can form. Mixed cultivation with borage promotes pollination. Pumpkins and zucchinis of the same species can interbreed, zucchini can become bitter and inedible or poisonous (due to so-called curcurbitacins).
