Squash - Zucchini, Costata Romanesco

Pick-up only at our retail nursery 5311 Scotts Valley Dr, Scotts Valley, CA during the week of March 21-28.

The 'Costata Romanesco' zucchini plant is a robust Italian heirloom known for its distinctive grey-green, ribbed fruit with rich, nutty flavor, firm texture, and edible blossoms, producing manageable yields that remain tender even when large. These plants are vigorous, require ample space (3-4 ft), benefit from full sun, and thrive in well-drained soil. Their fruits are great for stuffing, and they also produce prolific male flowers for other culinary uses.

Plants are in 4" containers and are usually about 4" tall.
