FAQs
When is the best time to harvest?
Harvest the courgettes when they are young and tender, ideally between 10cm and 15cm in length.
Can I grow these in pots?
Yes, they are compact and perfect for patio containers, provided the pot has enough space for a 90cm spread.
Are the flowers edible?
Yes, the flowers are edible and are often used in gourmet recipes, such as being stuffed or lightly fried.
How often should I feed the plants?
Apply a high-potash fertiliser every two weeks during the cropping season.
What should I do if frost is forecast?
Cover your plants with horticultural fleece or move them to a protected, frost-free location immediately.
Troubleshooting
Poor fruit production
Ensure the plant is receiving enough sunlight and increase the frequency of high-potash fertiliser application.
Yellowing leaves
This often indicates inconsistent watering or a lack of nutrients; check that the soil is moist and provide a balanced feed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your plants thrive, follow these specific guidelines:
- Positioning: Place plants in a location that receives full, direct sun.
- Soil Management: Keep the soil or potting mix consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulching can help retain moisture during hotter weeks.
- Feeding: Apply a high-potash fertiliser (like a tomato feed) every two weeks once the plant begins to crop to support heavy fruit development.
- Frost Protection: These are tender plants; ensure all danger of frost has passed before moving plants outdoors or protect them with horticultural fleece if temperatures drop unexpectedly.
