The Cocozelle Zucchini is an Italian heirloom dating back to the 1880's that produces glossy, dark green zucchini accented by mottled, light green stripes. Also known as 'Cocozella di Napoli' or 'Italian Vegetable Marrow', Cocozelle zucchini have been popular throughout Italy for more than a century. They are traditionally picked when the zucchini are young and tender, and are often sold with the female flowers are still attached. Their large, yellow flowers are also a favorite for stuffing with ricotta or mozzarella and subsequently roasting, grilling or deep frying. Cocozelle's compact, bush type plants produce abundantly and consistently right up until frost, with the first harvests beginning approximately 50 days after sowing. Their small, compact stature makes them a favorite for space-limited gardeners and others looking to maximize the output of their garden. Approximately 50-60 days to harvest. Each packet contains a minimum of 25 seeds. Show more
