Zucchini — Golden seeds
Golden Zucchini is easy and fast to grow, and will produce an abundance of fruit throughout the growing season! Golden Zucchini still boasts that bold zucchini flavour but with a vibrant yellow-gold skin. Golden Zucchini is best to harvest when the fruit grows to around 15cm and skin is still soft. Remember to keep picking your zucchini fruit throughout the growing season to stimulate further production.

Sow seeds directly into your garden bed or pots approximately 20 to 30mm deep, leaving around 75cm between Golden Zucchini seeds. Alternatively, you can raise seedlings in a protected area (in a greenhouse or indoors) and plant out after about 3 to 4 weeks making sure the last frost has passed. Leave approximately 90 to 100cm between rows of Golden Zucchini. Keep soil moist (but not soggy!). Best sown in spring, but the sowing season will depend on your climate*. Ideally, sow seeds when the temperature is between 21 to 32°C. Germination occurs within 5 to 14 days. Golden Zucchini plants reach full maturity after around 54 days.
*Sowing times may vary depending on your climate. See our planting guide for Golden Zucchini below.
