Growing Information

Growing Bossa Nova Hybrid Summer Squash

‘Bossa Nova’ is an award-winning hybrid summer squash and 2015 All-America Selections Winner prized for its sweet mild flavor and attractive mottled coloring. Contrasting dark and light green skin makes the Caserta-type fruits easy to spot at harvest, while compact plants produce earlier and longer than many comparable varieties.

Sow ‘Bossa Nova’ directly in the garden about 1 inch deep and space plants about 24 inches apart. Grow in full sun. Compact plants are well suited to smaller gardens and are noted for disease resistance.

Ready to harvest in about 37 days, pick fruits regularly once they reach a usable size while the flesh remains smooth and tender.

Mild, tender, and productive, ‘Bossa Nova’ is excellent for sautéing, grilling, roasting, everyday cooking, and storage.

Bossa Nova is the Zucchini you want in your garden

It is the best zucchini ever! Even if you miss picking it young it isn't that pithy texture you get from other zucchinis.

The best harvest

I am a newer gardener and have struggled with squash and not getting very many, but these have been amazing! Continuously blooms getting a couple a week per plant. I will definitely be ordering more.

Spotty germination

I really like this squash. Great texture and taste. I have however had a problem with germination. It is not your company’s fault, I’ve had it with others as well. Thank you for replacing my second pack. I did have some what better luck, 1 out of 3 germinated.

Low germination rate

Only 3 of the 15 seeds germinated and came up. I planted Dunja and Tromboncino in the same Pro-mix organic and they all came up just fine before the projected germination date. Same with my cukes, so the grow medium seems to be OK. 3 days ago I planted the remaining 12 of the Bossa Nova and am anxiously waiting to see what happens with them.

Bossa Nova

Disappointed! Only 3 seeds out of 8 I planted came up and one is deformed. the other squash, cucumbers and tomato seeds I purchased all came up. Planted in Burpees organic seed stater mix with worm castings mixed in, also on a seed starting heating pad,
