This hybrid strain of Costata Romanesco squash has the same great flavor as the heirloom strain with several advantages. Cassia plants have a more compact and open growth habit that makes monitoring their progress and harvesting much easier. The fruits are slightly longer, with nice contrasting colors in the striping and large, well-attached flowers that are less likely to separate with handling. Cassia plants are well balanced and continue producing even when the conditions are cool. Suitable for production in tunnels or the open field.

An heirloom zucchini dating back to 19th century Italy, Cocozelle produces slender fruits with alternating light and dark green stripes on smooth, thin skins. The plant is a bush which grows a manageable 2 - 3 feet in diameter, so Cocozelle may be grown in rows, raised beds, or even large containers. For best texture and flavor the fruits should be harvested when they are 6-8" long. 45 - 50 days. An average of 230 seeds/oz.

One packet will sow a 20' row at 6-10" spacing. Thin or transplant seedlings to 18-48" between plants.
