Super productive variety
Easy to grow

One of my must-have multi-purpose plants

It's good to eat small (as a courgette) and ripens and stores once large (as a winter-storing squash). You can eat the growth tips too. It's also exceptionally disease-free (particularly mildew). A lovely ornamental climber. Passionately recommended.

Please note, illustrated packets are being introduced gradually over the coming months, availability may vary.

Care Tips

Water well, and avoid the plant becoming dry. Mulch well, and dig in plenty of manure. Will need a frame to climb up. It is important to pinch out the triffid-like growth tips once they reach 1.8m and to keep doing so! This helps the fruit to set.
