Costata Romanesco Zucchini, 1600's Heirloom

A favorite of ours! This squash or zucchini thrives all across America.  It doesn't seem to be plagued my mildew and it is not bothered by bugs, it just keeps producing all summer long. 

The Living Seed Company - This Italian gourmet nutty summer squash has a unique appearance that piques the interest of any curious gardener.  With green skin and ribbing, this Italian heirloom surprises with its tender skin and delectable taste! The ribbed edges give the squash a beautiful scalloped appearance when sliced.  This heirloom has been enjoyed for centuries and will do well in most any garden. 

Male flowers are edible and delicious!
