How to grow this seed

Additional Information

Growing Information

Sowing info

Courgettes are very fast growing and will quickly become large plants, so do not be tempted to start too early. Sow courgette seeds 1.5cm deep in small pots filled with peat free multipurpose compost. Sow the seeds on their side, if laid flat, water can sit on top of the seed and cause it to rot before germinating. Keep at a temperature of 20-25C until after germination, which usually takes 7-10 days. Do not exclude light as this helps germination.

Growing info

Plant out after all risk of frost has passed into a sunny position. Keep well waterered to avoid issues with powdery mildew. Keep harvesting fruit regularly before it gets too large to encourage more fruit to set. The more you pick the more you get.
