Organic Cocozelle Zucchini
50 days to harvest | Cucurbita pepo
HEIRLOOM We love Cocozelle’s light green stripes on the classic Italian green zucchini, evidence of Costata Romanesco in her parentage. As a result, Cocozelle’s flavor soars above average and Friends, we’ve been saving seeds for nearly a decade of the plants that have the fewest spines and the most open architecture, making her abundant harvest that much more joyful for everyone involved!
