Zucchini, Eight Ball F1

Info: Eight Ball stands out particularly due to its round, dark green fruits and is also very productive. As with all zucchinis, it is important to harvest the young fruits, as they are particularly tender and tasty. The Eight Ball plant grows bushy, and the round fruits are ideally suited for stuffing, for example with minced meat.

Care: Water regularly! Very nutritious soil. The compost heap is ideal. Plant spacing 1x1 m. Place 2 - 3 seeds per pot or planting site about 2 cm deep (dark germinator).

Usage: Did you know? The young yellow flowers are also edible. Harvested in the morning, dipped in omelet batter, and fried, zucchini flowers are a real delicacy.

Gardener's Tip: Regular harvesting promotes renewed fruit set and thus success. The optimal location for zucchini is the compost heap.
