courgette 'Zucchini'

A compact, high yeilding courgette cultivar, with green palmate foliage on stems to 90cm (3ft) high and 1.5 (5ft) across. Its dark green fruits 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 quickly developing fruits are regularly picked. Its 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 and can also be picked and used in cooking.
