Description and growing instructions below from Hudson Valley Seeds.

Sweet taste, sizeable yields.

A classic green zucchini. In our trials, this open-pollinated zucchini stood out for its sweet taste and sizeable, yet manageable yields. The plants are large and vigorous, and resisted powdery mildew the longest out of all similar types.
This zucchini is dark green with matte skin. The fruits will get very large, and lose quality beyond about 8 inches in length, so pick often. Best when picked young, 1-2 plants are generally enough for one home garden.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS.

Start indoors 2-3 weeks before last frost or sow outdoors after last frost. Sow 2-3 more times at monthly intervals for fruit all season. Zucchini tolerates moderate soil fertility and dry conditions. Plants grow to 3' high and 3' across. Harvest fruits often at young stage for best eating and highest yields. Bush habit.
