FAQs

Want to know more about our Courgette Zucchini Seeds? We answer your questions here.

When should I sow Courgette Zucchini Seeds?

The best time to plant Cara seed potatoes is between late March and late April, when the soil temperature is consistently above 8°C, and the threat of frost has passed. Chitting your seed potatoes beforehand encourages strong shoots and faster growth once planted. Choose a dry, frost-free day and plant in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil for a healthy, productive crop.

How long do Courgette Zucchini Seeds take to grow?

Cara seed potatoes are a maincrop variety that typically takes around 18 to 20 weeks to mature after planting. When planted in late March or April, you can expect to harvest in August to September. Growth time can vary slightly depending on soil temperature, weather conditions, and the timing of chitting, but Cara is known for producing a strong, reliable crop by late summer with excellent storage quality.

Can Courgette Zucchini seeds be grown in pots?

Yes, they grow very well in large containers or patio planters, just make sure they have rich, moisture-retentive compost, regular watering, and plenty of sunshine. Container-grown courgettes often produce excellent harvests when fed weekly with a tomato fertiliser once fruits begin to form.
