In Italian, the pumpkin is called „zucca“ with its diminutive being „zucchino“. In plural it is „zucchini“ or „zucchetti“, which is how the Swiss call this versatile vegetable. There are lengthy, oval, round, marbled, green or yellow fruits. Young fruits are very delicious and can be eaten whole, but can be consumed as uncooked vegetarian fruit also. Meanwhile more and more varieties are becoming known and sought-after. Fruits can be harvested over a long period of time until first frosts set in. Zucchini plants need little space, because of their bushy growth. Ideally, the vegetable is used for barbecue, being filled, roasted, or on pizza and in salads. A special treat: the beautiful, yellow-coloured flowers, which can be fried. Delicious and a real eye-catcher. Origin: The variety Defender F1 has a natural resistance to viral diseases and produces a high yield. The densely growing plant is compact and very robust. Fruits of the early mature plant are green to dark green coloured and able to grow up to 40 cm in length. Harvesting time stretches into autumn. Propagation: Ideal time for sowing is from January until mid-May. Leave the seeds to soak in water at room temperature overnight and sow them evenly spreaded afterwards. At temperatures of 20°C, germination should follow after 7-10 days. Plants can be singled out (pricked out) after 3 weeks . A sunny outdoor position is also possible from mid-May on (possibly also not until the end of May). Aubergines love a preferably warm location. Daily temperatures should range between 18°-30°C and nightly temperatures at 14°-18°C. The plants thrive best in soil rich of nutrients and being watered a lot. ## Features - About this item Price for 10 seeds Four-colour-card with color photo Seeds can be started indoors any time throughout the year.

Another has looked dormant for the last 3 weeks or so and is only just starting to lok like it might decide to put on a second set of leaves. Might be my lack of expertese, but a bit disappointing. I look forward to seeing how the growing plants will perform... ### ⭐ Low germination rate *by S***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 May 2020* Only 2 seeds in the whole packet came up. Very disappointing ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great service *by O***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 April 2020* Really speedy delivery. Good to have notes for variety and for planting. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/119400206-tropica-zucchini-defender-cucurbita-pepo-10-seeds-vegetable-specialities](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/119400206-tropica-zucchini-defender-cucurbita-pepo-10-seeds-vegetable-specialities) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
