Grow authentic Italian zucchini with Zucchino da Fiore, a dual-purpose heirloom flower variety. For its delicious zucchini when pollinated, it’s also the perfect choice for squash blossoms, a delicacy in Italian cuisine. In the United States, these blossoms are often stuffed with cheese, breaded, and fried as appetizers or sliced into ribbons for salads and casseroles. To harvest only the blossoms, cover the plants with row cover to prevent insect pollination, picking the flowers early in the morning when they first open for the best flavor. This variety is a runner, so space the plants about 5 feet apart.

The florists photo in some instances may include a one-of-a-kind vase which cannot be replicated, but we will ensure that your arrangement adheres to the overall theme or look. Although the arrangement or bouquet may not match the photo exactly, the temperament will. On occasion, we may have to make substitutions of flowers or vases due to weather, seasonality, and market conditions which may affect the availability. If this is the scenario, the florist will ensure that the style, theme, and color scheme of your arrangement is preserved and the necessary substitutions are of equal or higher value.
