Zucchini Striato d'Italia
The word Zucchini comes from Italian and this variety is widely grown in northern Italy. It has very attractive fruits with raised green ridges. They have a distinct almost nutty flavour and firm texture, which some say is the best of all zucchinis.
How To Grow
Sow directly into well-prepared soil in a warm sunny position.Sow 2-3 seeds in clumps 12mm (½in) spaced 40cm (16in) apart. Lightly firm down and keep moist.Thin to the strongest seedling when the first true leaves develop. Mulch plants with compost or straw as they grow.
