Round Zucchini | Harvest of Premium Heirloom Squash Seeds

Round Zucchini Squash (Cucurbita pepo) is a high-yielding heirloom prized for its distinctive round shape, tender flesh, and mild, nutty flavor. Its ball-shaped fruit is ideal for stuffing and baking, while smaller harvests are delicious in salads or quickly sautéed. Compact, bush-type plants make this squash a practical choice for small gardens and large containers.

Germination: 3–10 days.

Maturity: Approx. 45–55 days from transplanting, depending on growing conditions.

Genus: Cucurbita pepo.

Quantity: 25 Premium Heirloom Seeds.

Appearance: Round fruit with light-to-medium green skin, often mottled with pale flecks. The thin, tender skin needs no peeling. Harvest at about 3–4 inches in diameter for peak flavor and texture or pick at around 2 inches for exceptionally tender baby squash.

Flavor & Uses: Tender flesh with a mild, nutty flavor. Ideal for stuffing and baking; baby squash is especially tender and sweet for raw salads or quick sautéing. The large yellow male blossoms can also be stuffed and fried.

Growth Habit: Compact, bush-type plants rather than sprawling vines. Well suited to small-space gardens and large containers, with high yields and abundant yellow blossoms.

Growing Notes: Start seeds indoors about 3 weeks before the last expected spring frost. Transplant outdoors once frost danger has passed and the soil has warmed. Choose full sun and fertile, well-drained soil, and maintain consistent moisture. Harvest fruit at 3–4 inches in diameter, or around 2 inches for tender baby squash.
