DescriptionDetailsSow & GrowPlanting CalendarDelivery

This compact bush variety doesn't sprawl like some courgettes and so does very well in a large pot filled with rich organic matter. Delicious, rich green round fruits have an excellent flavour and texture. Best harvested when around the size of a pool/snooker ball hence the name.
