How to grow Zucchini 'Tricolour'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Tricolour is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. A soil ph of between 5.6 and 7.5 is ideal for Tricolour as it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Growing Tricolour from seed

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 2.92 feet (90.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.99 inches (2.54 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 15°C / 59°F to ensure good germination.

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

Transplanting Tricolour

As Tricolour is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.

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

Harvesting Tricolour

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by early summer.
