    Zucchini ‘Dark Green’ (Cucurbita pepo)

    Zucchini ‘Dark Green’ (Cucurbita pepo)

    Zucchini ‘Dark Green’ (Cucurbita pepo) is a classic summer squash variety known for its smooth, deep green skin and tender, mild-flavoured flesh. This widely grown vegetable produces cylindrical fruits that are best harvested young for optimal texture and flavour, making it ideal for grilling, sautéing, baking, and fresh use.

    Dark green zucchini is highly productive and grows on compact, bush-type plants that are well-suited to garden beds, raised beds, and larger containers. With regular harvesting, plants can produce continuously throughout the growing season. Its reliable growth and high yield make it a staple crop in home vegetable gardens.

    This warm-season plant performs well in Alberta’s summer climate when planted after the risk of frost has passed. Consistent heat, sunlight, and moisture support strong growth and steady fruit production.

    Sun Requirements ▾

    Full sun is essential for vigorous growth and maximum yields. Plant in a location that receives at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Bright sunlight promotes abundant flowering, healthy foliage, and consistent fruit production.

    Watering Instructions ▾

    Moderate to High. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Deep watering at the base of the plant encourages strong root development and healthy fruit production. Avoid wetting foliage when possible to help reduce disease issues.

    Care Tips ▾

    Harvest fruits when they are 15–20 cm (6–8 inches) long for the best flavour and texture. Frequent harvesting encourages continuous flowering and fruit production. A moisture meter is a great way to gauge your plant's moisture levels.
