Zucchini 'Nimba'

A full sun position will ensure your plant thrives and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Nimba 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. Nimba requires a soil ph of 5.6 - 7.5 meaning 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 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

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

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

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

Expect harvests to start to occur in early summer.
