Courgette Collection

We’ve selected some of our best three courgettes to give reliable and heavy crops on disease resistance plants. Fantastically easy to grow, they’re a must-have for the allotment, and include both yellow and green varieties to add extra colour to your dishes.

Courgette Collection contains 3 x 9cm potted plants, one of each of the following varieties:

• Courgette ‘Sure Thing’ – Sure to produce heavy crops even in cool summers, and doesn’t require insect pollination so you can grow them in the greenhouse. Fruits are up to 20cm (8”) long and offer a stronger flavour than most other green varieties. Good resistance to powdery mildew until the late summer. Height: 45cm (18″). Spread: 90cm (36″).
• Courgette ‘Golden Glory’ F1 – a spineless courgette bearing excellent yields of bright yellow courgettes which crop over a long period. Height: 45cm (18”). Spread: 90cm (35”).
• Courgette ‘Twitter’ – a vigorous, disease-resistant plant bearing dark green fruits which crop over a long period. Height: 45cm (18”). Spread: 90cm (35”).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

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 flowers.
