Golden Zucchini is an heirloom summer squash valued for its vivid golden-yellow skin, small seeds, and firm yet tender ivory-white flesh. Its mild, sweet flavor is slightly sweeter than green zucchini. Harvest fruits at 6 - 8 inches long, before the skin thickens. Compact bush plants grow about 2 - 3 ft. tall and 3 - 4 ft. wide, fitting smaller gardens or large containers of at least 5 gallons. Enjoy grilled, roasted, sautéed, or fried. Slice paper-thin for summer salads or shave over carpaccio with lemon and cheese.

Appearance: Slender, golden-yellow squash with firm yet tender ivory-white flesh and small seeds when harvested young.
Flavor & Uses: Mild and slightly sweeter than green zucchini; enjoy grilled, roasted, sautéed, fried, or thinly sliced in fresh salads.
Growth Habit: This open-pollinated summer squash grows on bushy plants about 2–3 feet tall. Allow 3–4 feet between plants, and harvest regularly to encourage continued production.
Growing Notes: Sow directly outdoors after frost danger has passed and soil has warmed to at least 70°F. For a head start, sow indoors 2–4 weeks before transplanting, taking care not to disturb the roots. Grow in rich, well-drained soil with 6–8 hours of full sun and consistent moisture. Harvest fruits at 6–8 inches long while the skin is tender.
