courgette 'Gold Rush' (yellow)

A compact, early-fruiting cultivar which produces smooth-skinned, golden-yellow courgettes, which are ready to harvest when approximately 15-20cm (6-8in) in length. These are produced over a long period from July to October, as long as the developing fruits are regularly picked. Its relatively compact habit makes it suitable for growing in containers on the patio where border space is limited. The bright yellow flowers are attractive to pollinating insects. The flowers can also be picked and used in cooking
