Zucchini 'Zephyr f1'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Zephyr f1 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 Zephyr f1 as it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

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 Zephyr f1 about 42 days before your last frost date.

As Zephyr f1 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 Zephyr f1 about 14 days after your last frost date.

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