Sow seeds directly outdoors in warm soil after the last frost, or start indoors 2-3 weeks before transplanting. Plant seeds 1 inch deep, spacing 36-48 inches apart in rows 3-4 feet apart. Cocozelle is a bush-type zucchini that requires less space than vining squash, making it suitable for smaller gardens or raised beds.
Keep soil consistently moist and mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Regular harvesting encourages continued production throughout the season.
Harvest fruits when they are 6-8 inches long for best flavor and texture. Smaller fruits are tender and ideal for fresh eating, sautéing, or grilling. Harvest frequently to promote steady yields. Fruits can become large if left on the vine but may lose tenderness.
An Italian heirloom dating back to the 19th century.
Produces striped, dark green zucchini with tender flesh.
Excellent for fresh eating, stir-fries, grilling, and baking.
