  • Remove older leaves regularly to keep the plant healthy and tidy

Pros and cons

According to our gardening experts

  • Very reliable and popular courgette variety
  • During rainy summers, plants can sometimes get infected with powdery mildew. While it usually doesn't harm the plant, it can make them look less attractive. Regularly remove older leaves to keep the plant healthy.
  • Regularly harvest courgettes to ensure a rich flavor and pleasant texture

For an early harvest, start courgettes indoors or in a greenhouse in April. Once the last frost has passed and your plants have grown to a decent size, they are ready to be transplanted. This allows you to harvest your first courgettes as early as late June! From then onwards, you won't need to buy any until the first frost. With just one or two plants, you'll be able to provide your family with fresh harvests.
