Courgettes, pumpkins and ornamental gourds

Courgette fruit types and plant habit

Black Beauty is offered with elongated fruit and smooth dark-green skin. Goldena is a yellow bush-type courgette with pale flesh. One Ball F1 adds a round yellow courgette reference.

Cucurbita pepo includes both bush and vining forms. A round fruit does not in itself identify plant habit. Use the particular variety’s description when selecting between a bush courgette and a named climbing line.

Pattypans, pumpkins and spaghetti squash

Pattypan selections form a separate summer-squash group. Pumpkin and winter-squash types are generally described by mature fruit, while courgettes are associated with young tender fruit.

Vegetable Spaghetti is a distinct oblong yellow squash whose cooked flesh separates into strands. This fruit type has a different place in a seed range from a named courgette colour or a patisson mixture.

Ornamental-gourd selections

Ornamental selections are chosen for fruit form, surface and colour. Autumn Wings is a decorative gourd reference with winged fruit forms. Named striped, warted and turban-shaped entries sit alongside mixtures in the assortment.

Seed identity and wholesale quantities

The species has separate male and female yellow flowers on the same plant.

For seed enquiries, retain the full cultivar name, F1 or ORGANIC designation where shown, and SKU. Compare weight-priced entries and references priced per stated seed count on the same basis. Quantities, packing and final prices are confirmed in the quotation.
