A high level of tolerance against Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus and Powdery Mildew. Heavy yielding plants, with an open habit, makes picking the dark shiny fruits easier.

Bred to give increased Hybrid vigour, garden performance and flavour, thus increasing your harvest. Due to their wide ranging pest and disease resistance, there will be no need for the use of chemicals.

Sow in spring 1cm (½in) deep in a good seed compost. Germination usually takes 6-10 days at 24C (75F). Can also be sown where they are to crop in late spring/early summer once the soil has warmed up. Sow 3 seeds every 60cm (24in) and thin out to the best seedling.

Transplant when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots and grow on in cooler conditions. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 60cm (24in) apart in a sunny sheltered spot on rich well drained soil.

Water regularly and feed every 14 days once the courgettes start to develop. Pick regularly while small 10-16cm (4-6in) and don't leave any on to grow or cropping will be impaired.
