Dark Green Zucchini | Premium, Open-Pollinated Summer Squash Seeds

Dark Green Zucchini is a prolific, compact bush-type summer squash (Cucurbita pepo) that produces straight, smooth, glossy dark green fruit with mild, tender flesh. It thrives in full sun and fertile, well-draining, organic-rich soil with a pH of 5.8–6.8. Harvest fruit at 6–8 inches for the best texture and continued production. Enjoy it grilled, roasted, sautéed, fried, or steamed; grate larger zucchini into breads, cakes, and muffins.

Germination: 4–14 days

Maturity: 48–62 days after Transplanting

Genus: Cucurbita pepo

Quantity: 25 Premium Heirloom Seeds

Appearance: Straight, cylindrical zucchini with smooth, glossy dark green skin; harvest at 6–8 inches.

Flavor & Uses: Tender, mildly sweet, and buttery; ideal for frying, steaming, sautéing, grilling, baking, casseroles, and soups.

Growth Habit: Productive, compact bush plants with an open habit for easy harvesting.

Growing Notes: Start indoors 3–4 weeks before transplanting, or direct-sow after frost in soil at least 65°F. Plant 1 inch deep in full sun and rich, well-draining soil. Harden off seedlings, space 18–24 inches apart in rows 4–6 feet apart, and water at the base.

Harvest Note: Pick Zucchini while young and tender, ideally at 6–8 inches. Harvest 2–3 times a week to encourage continued production and prevent oversized fruit.
