How to grow Zucchini 'Bobcat'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Bobcat is thought of as tender, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. A soil ph of between 5.6 and 7.5 is ideal for Bobcat as it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Growing Bobcat from seed

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.99 inches (2.54 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 2.92 feet (90.0 cm) between Zucchini plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

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

Transplanting Bobcat

As Bobcat 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 Bobcat about 14 days after your last frost date.
