Zucchino da Fiore / San Pasquale - Edible Flower

SKU: 146-57GLBZ

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.
