This quick growing variety is very versatile and can be sown as late as July!

An excellent variety for children to grow as it can be used young as courgettes or allowed to mature to full size for Halloween.

An absolutely stunning and delicious squash. Very prolific and reasonable resistance to mildew, however they are more yellow than the picture suggests and split if exposed to a sudden rain storm or over zealous watering. A stronger flavoured type.
