Caserta Zucchini (Cucurbita pepo) is a classic heirloom summer squash known for its unique light green skin with dark green, wavy stripes. The straight, slightly tapered fruits have a tender, creamy flesh and a mild, slightly sweet flavor. This Italian variety is renowned for its exceptional productivity and compact, bushy growth habit. Caserta Zucchini is perfect for grilling, sautéing, baking, and even spiralizing into zucchini noodles. Harvest when fruits are young, around 6–8 inches long, for the best flavor and texture.

Growing Instructions

Direct-sow Caserta Zucchini seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to at least 70°F. Sow seeds 1 inch deep, spaced 18–24 inches apart in rows 36–48 inches apart. Zucchini thrives in full sun and rich, well-draining soil. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during fruit production, and mulch to help retain moisture. Harvest when fruits are 6–8 inches long for the best flavor and texture. Regular harvesting encourages continuous production throughout the summer.
