Improved Costata Romanesco.

Latino F1 is an improvement on the popular Costata Romanesco variety. The plants grow more upright and compact, forming a bush, are more productive, and easier to harvest. Latino produces the typical and tasty fruits of Costata Romanesco, but with improved yields.

This variety thrives in warm, well-drained soil, cultivated with a pre-cultivation system and planted out by sowing from late April, or by direct sowing from early May. It matures in approximately 50 days. This variety doesn't climb, but grows as a bush. Courgettes should be harvested very young, preferably during or shortly after flowering. This variety can be harvested continuously.

For courgettes we recommend 1–2 square metres per plant.

Possible pests: snails, birds, mice, aphids, mildew, viruses.
