Courgette Black Forest F1 Hybrid

With a unique climbing habit Courgette ‘Black Forest’ makes a great space saving variety for growing in containers on the patio. The long stems will need tying onto a trellis or netting to gently train them upwards. Courgette Black Forest will produce heavy yields of dark green, smooth, cylindrical 15cm (6″) courgettes if picked regularly throughout the summer. Height: 120cm (48″). Spread: 60cm (24″).

Culinary note: Some parts of these flowers are edible. For more details about edible flowers click here.

Companion planting: Try growing courgettes with Calendula to attract pollinating insects which will in turn pollinate your courgette
