Ronde de Nice is a French heirloom zucchini shaped like a softball—tender, nutty flesh ideal for stuffing, roasting, or slicing like any summer squash. Pick at 3–4" for best texture. Bush plants are productive if you harvest often. Direct sow in warm soil, mulch to retain moisture, and patrol for squash bugs. A charming shape with true zucchini flavor.

How to Grow

Plant seeds directly in the garden 1-2 weeks after average last frost date. Sow 3-5 seeds per hill, thinning to a final 2-3 plants per hill. Space between hills should be 3-6'. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-85 degrees. Or, start seed indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Transplant to the garden 2 to 3 weeks after your average last frost. Squash grow best in a warm site with full sun. Warm soil is essential to good seed germination and emergence. Using transplants can speed production.
