Online price only.

The 'Ronde de Nice' zucchini is an old and charming variety that brings a Mediterranean touch to the vegetable garden with its round, glossy, and beautifully green-marbled fruits. Very early and non-trailing, it is perfectly suited for gardens where productivity, elegance, and ease of cultivation are desired. Its young fruits, tender and melting, are happily harvested almost like small promises of summer cuisine, ideal for stuffing, gratinating, or stewing. Throughout the season, this generous plant produces abundantly in a warm and sunny exposure, transforming each garden visit into a harvesting opportunity. Its large yellow flowers attract numerous pollinators, a true living ballet that contributes to sustained fruiting and the vitality of the vegetable garden. Its compact habit, compared to trailing squash, makes it particularly interesting for confined spaces, edible flowerbeds, and some large containers. Easy to succeed in rich, deep, and well-drained soil, it rewards regular care with tasty and decorative fruits. Growing this zucchini means choosing a heritage, gourmet, and luminous variety that combines abundance, beauty, and culinary pleasure throughout the summer.
