Courgette seeds — the most productive crop in the garden

Courgettes (zucchini) are famously generous — just one or two plants will keep a household in tender, glossy fruit all summer. They're the most popular of our summer squash within the gourds and squash range, and one of the easiest crops for beginners. New to growing? Our vegetable growing guide gets you going.

Pick small and often. Frequent picking keeps the plant producing — the calendar shows when to sow.

Green, yellow and round

Classic green, golden-yellow and round courgettes all grow the same way and belong to the Cucurbita pepo family. Compact bush types suit our container range; leave a fruit to swell and you've grown a marrow. Browse the wider summer squash for more.

Growing a heavy crop

Plant into rich soil (our soil guide helps), water deeply at the roots and feed once fruiting (see the feeding guide). Keep an eye out for powdery mildew in late summer and pick while small for the best texture.

One plant, endless courgettes. Pick at finger-to-hand length every couple of days to keep them coming.

Frequently Asked Questions

When do I sow courgettes?
After the last frost in late spring, or start them indoors in pots a few weeks earlier.

How many plants do I need?
Just one or two usually keep a whole family well supplied.

Why should I pick them small?
Small fruit has the best texture, and frequent picking keeps the plant cropping.

What's the difference between a courgette and a marrow?
A marrow is simply a courgette left on the plant to grow large.

Can I grow courgettes in pots?
Yes — choose a compact bush variety and a large container.
