Zucchini 'El Greco'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that El Greco is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors. El Greco requires a soil ph of 5.6 - 7.5 meaning it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Look to ensure a distance 2.92 feet (90.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.99 inches (2.54 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 15°C / 59°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing El Greco about 42 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as El Greco is a tender plant.

By our calculations, you should look at planting out El Greco about 14 days after your last frost date.

Expect harvests to start to occur in early summer.
