Costata Romanesco Squash

$ 2.50

55 days.  A sought-after Italian heirloom grown around Rome for years.

The zucchini is grey-green, has fluted edges or ribs. When cut these fluted edges give them a scalloped appearance. The flavor is very rich and nutty. Unique amongst summer squash. Much better taste than hybrids. Excellent raw or cooked. Male blossoms used in many dishes. Plants get big and Costata Romanesco generally doesn't produce as heavily as many squash so plant accordingly. Harvest small for the best texture.


Contains 25 heirloom seeds

Easy and tasty

Grew this squash in an open patch of soil at 7,800 feet elevation. The squash produced vegetables at about 75 days. Grows to large sizes quickly. Nice almost nutty taste, with indiscernible seeds. Can’t wait to put in another batch next spring/summer
