Organic Cocozelle Zucchini
50 days to harvest
Cucurbita pepo
Description
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!
