This variety performed incredibly for us, both in terms of resistance to disease and productivity. It was by far the most productive courgette we grew this year. Highly versatile in the kitchen, we used it young for stuffing or stir-fries, and fully mature for roasting, soups and stews.

The plants are vigorous and highly productive, yielding both quality fruits and large blossoms suitable for stuffing or frying.  Courgette Fiorentino is renowned for its sweet, nutty flavour and firm yet creamy flesh, offering more depth than modern commercial courgettes. Harvested young, the texture remains tender and buttery with low water content, making it ideal for grilling, sautéing, roasting, or eating raw in thin slices. This courgette is best eaten picked young at 6\" to get the best of its flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eScientific Name:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eCucurbita pepo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlant Life Cycle:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eannual\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOptimal Germination Temperature:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e18-20C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGermination time in days:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e5-14 days\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIndicative Days to maturity:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e90 days\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSunlight:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003efull sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSoil requirement:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003erich in organic matter, well drained, fertile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSowing and cultivation:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eSow seeds indoor 4-6 weeks before last frost.
