Zephyr Hybrid Summer Squash
Growing Zephyr Hybrid Summer Squash
‘Zephyr’ is a hybrid summer squash prized for its eye-catching color and nutty flavor. Crookneck fruits develop yellow skin with faint white striping and distinctive light lime-green blossom ends, creating an especially attractive harvest.
Start ‘Zephyr’ indoors for transplanting and grow in full sun with plenty of room between plants and rows. This heat-tolerant variety develops large, open plants that are highly productive and easy to harvest.
Ready to harvest in about 54 days, pick fruits young for the best firm texture and nutty flavor.
Colorful, tender, and distinctive, ‘Zephyr’ is excellent for sautéing, grilling, roasting, everyday cooking, and storage.
