Cucurbita pepo
For green zucchini lovers, Dark Star is it. Bred through a collaboration of the Organic Seed Alliance and Eel River Farms, their goal was to create an open-pollinated zucchini that is vigorous, reliably uniform and dark green, and they've done it. It's as good or better than hybrid equivalents; one of the best OP's on the market. Compact plants grow in an open habit that makes the zucchinis easier to harvest; best to harvest at 6"-8". A good choice for gardeners and commercial market growers alike. 50 days to maturity. Photo from High Mowing.
