Grow a generous harvest of dark green zucchinis with this productive variety. It bears straight, cylindrical, slightly ribbed fruit that can reach approximately 30–34 cm long. The plant can carry several heavy fruit at once and continue producing over an extended period.
This variety has good cold tolerance and can perform from an early autumn planting where local conditions remain suitable. Its balanced growth and ability to regrow under lower light conditions make it a useful choice as the season changes. Give it a sunny, sheltered position and plenty of room to spread.
The slightly ribbed fruit can reach approximately 30–34 cm. Pick at the size you prefer and check plants regularly while they are producing.

| Growth and Flowering | Large leaves develop and flowers appear. Leave approximately 75 cm between plants and rows. |
| Fruit Development | Straight, dark green, slightly ribbed zucchinis form. Straw mulch can help keep fruit off damp soil. |

🌡️ Climate and Planting Guide
This variety has good cold tolerance and may continue growing in cooler, lower-light conditions. An early autumn planting can support an extended production period where the local climate remains suitable.
Cold tolerance does not mean frost tolerance. Protect plants from frost and choose a sunny, wind-protected position. In areas with early frosts, plan your planting around your local conditions.
🥒 Harvesting and Kitchen Uses
Check beneath the leaves regularly as fruit develops. Zucchinis can grow quickly and may reach approximately 30–34 cm long. Harvest at the size you prefer, cutting the stem carefully rather than pulling on the plant.
Fresh: Grate into salads or slice into ribbons.
Cooked: Grill, roast, stuff or add to pasta, fritters and stir-fries.
✓ Success Checklist
| Action | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Handle the root plug gently | Zucchini seedlings establish best with minimal root disturbance. |
| Plant in a sunny, sheltered position | Supports growth and protects large leaves from strong winds. |
| Use well-drained, organic-rich soil | Provides a healthy root environment for a productive plant. |
| Allow 75 cm of spacing | Gives the foliage room to spread and improves access for harvesting. |
| Water deeply at the base | Keeps moisture consistent while leaving foliage drier. |
| Add straw mulch beneath leaves | Helps separate developing fruit from damp soil. |
| Check fruit regularly | Lets you harvest at the size you prefer. |
🪴 Garden Beds and Growing Space
Give zucchini plants room to spread in a sunny garden bed, with approximately 75 cm between plants and rows. Prepare the soil with organic matter and ensure excess water drains away.
Place straw mulch under the foliage to help keep developing fruit from resting directly on damp soil. Keep mulch clear of the plant’s crown.
🐛 Plant Care and Leaf Health
Water deeply and consistently at the base of the plant. Avoid watering over the leaves where possible, as persistently wet foliage can favour leaf problems. Check beneath the leaves for developing fruit and any signs of damage or rot.
Transplant gently, water at the base and keep straw beneath developing fruit. Check under the large leaves often so you can pick each zucchini at your favourite size.
