Know before you buy
Dark Star zucchini plants grow to approximately 3 feet in height and width. Because of this size, you should space them about 24 inches apart within rows, with 36 inches between rows to ensure proper airflow.
Yes, this variety is specifically bred for drought resistance and can tolerate moderate soil fertility. While they are resilient, consistent moisture will still help you achieve the best yields.
You can expect to harvest your first zucchini about 60 days after planting. For the best flavor and to keep the plant producing, harvest the fruits while they are still young and tender.
An open-bush habit means the plant grows in a more compact, accessible shape rather than sprawling wildly. This makes it much easier to spot and harvest the fruit hidden beneath the leaves.
Each packet contains 20 certified organic seeds. Since these plants are prolific, this amount is typically sufficient for a home garden harvest.
