The plant develops a vigorous, bushy habit, quickly producing numerous flowers followed by abundant fruit. This prolific yield makes it an ideal zucchini for family vegetable gardens, where harvests follow one another throughout the summer season.

In the garden, Dark Green thrives in warmth, full sun, and rich, well-drained soil. Steady growth, supported by consistent watering, results in straight, flavorful fruit with no bitterness. Frequent harvesting encourages continuous production and maintains fruit quality.

In the ecumene, the Dark Green courgette is seen as a plant of abundance and sharing. It embodies the quintessential summer vegetable garden, one overflowing with harvests and inviting cooking, preserving, and giving away.
