Courgette 'Bianca di Trieste'
- Loved by Pollinators
- Perfect for Pots
Courgette 'Bianca di Trieste' is the pale ivory-green equivalent to 'Defender' so a very healthy, quick growing, tasty and productive variety, which looks lovely mixed up with the other two colours on a plate
Do at least two sowings of courgettes, splitting your packets, so that you have fruit to pick for 3-4 months at a stretch. Sow two or three different colours so they look good in the garden and on the plate.
Please note, illustrated packets are being introduced gradually over the coming months, availability may vary.
