Originally from the Americas, the pattypan squash has become a cheerful and generous companion in our vegetable gardens. Its saucer-shaped fruits, often yellow or green, herald summer and its delicious bounty. The pattypan squash, also called "pattypan squash zucchini," is prized for its tender, slightly sweet flesh, which reveals its full finesse in cooking.

In the garden, this variety displays a compact and vigorous habit, thriving in generous sunshine with leaves that are sometimes finely cut. A robust plant, it offers a regular harvest that delights gardeners with its ease of cultivation and abundance.

An ideal companion for organic vegetable gardens, it supports biodiversity by attracting pollinators and beneficial insects, while blending harmoniously with other crops thanks to its protective foliage.
