HOW TO GROW ZUCCHINI
Start 2-3 seeds in flats or 4” pots 3-4 weeks before transplanting, thin to 1-2 plants. Direct seed after last frost followed by multiple successions until three months before last frost. Seeds will rot in cool wet soil, 5-6 seeds to a hill. Pinch new blossoms midsummer to encourage larger set fruit size. Plastic mulch and floating row covers can be used to increase soil and air temperature, and reduce cucumber beetle damage to young seedlings. Soil pH 5.8-7.0. Hardiness zones 4-11. Annual.

Attractive Italian variety. Dark and light green striping shows much more contrast than Costata Romanesco Zucchini. More flavorful than most zucchini, flavor is slightly nutty; milder than Costata. Evenly shaped, straight slightly ribbed fruit. Single-stemmed bush plants. Harvest when needed, peak flavor is at 7-8” ...
Attractive Italian variety. Dark and light green striping shows much more contrast than Costata Romanesco Zucchini. More flavorful than most zucchini, flavor is slightly nutty; milder than Costata. Evenly shaped, straight slightly ribbed fruit. Single-stemmed bush plants. Harvest when needed, peak flavor is at 7-8” long, if they get away from you grow to full size 24-36”, leave fruit on the plant until frost then remove and save seed in December. Control the abundant harvest by using flowers on salads and water sparingly. Also known as courgette. Tags: Color: Bi-Colored.
