Astia Zucchini Summer Squash Seeds
Astia zucchini is a compact, French-bred bush variety developed for container growing and small garden spaces. Its non-rambling habit makes it perfect for patios, raised beds, and tight planting areas. The plants produce attractive, silvery-green, deeply indented leaves that add ornamental value while sheltering the developing fruit. Early-bearing and prolific, Astia sets glossy green zucchini close to the plant’s base, making them easy to spot and harvest regularly for best quality. This variety thrives in warm weather and will continue producing over a long season when picked frequently. Ideal for home gardeners and urban growers, Astia zucchini performs well in rich, well-draining soil and benefits from consistent moisture. For best results, plant after danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures have warmed. Harvest young for tender texture or allow to mature slightly for larger yields. These versatile zucchini are excellent for roasting, sautéing, steaming, or adding to baked
