Organic Courgette - Goldini II *NEW*

£3.00
Packet size: ~12 seeds

GROWN IN SCOTLAND by Seeds of Scotland

Cucurbita pepo

We are very excited to be able to offer Goldini II seeds; it's such a great variety! Large and productive plants fill with a profusion of golden, delicious courgettes. The fruits have a lovely nutty flavour and hold their ribbed shape and texture well in cooking. The flowers tend to remain attached to the end of the fruits, which makes them particularly good for stuffing or deep frying.  Even the seedlings can have golden leaves.

Bred by Carol Deppe for eating both raw and cooked, as well as for dry preserving. A cross between famous golden courgette 'Gold Rush' and delicious Italian heirloom 'Costata Romanesco',  You can read more about  Carol's breeding work here.

 


  

 

Growing Info

Sowing: Best sown in small (~7cm) pots in a heated propagator or on a sunny windowsill in April–May. Plants grow quickly, so avoid sowing too early—you’ll want to plant them out after the last frost. If you can’t plant them out straight away, be prepared to pot on as they grow.

Spacing: 90cm

Harvest: Harvest as soon as the courgettes are the desired size.

Tips: Enrich the soil with well-rotted manure or garden compost before sowing or planting. Courgettes thrive undercover and they also grow well outside in a sunny spot. For a longer harvest, sow an early crop undercover and follow with a second sowing in early summer for planting outside. Courgettes can be prone to damping off, so avoid overwatering young seedlings. 

Germination: 98% Oct 2026

What our customers say

Your seeds are just great! Always excellent germination rates. This is the second year we have had your Robinson peas which are really lovely and grow so well.

Lisa, Bridge of Allan

I thought you should know that your seeds have been wonderful. In an otherwise rubbish growing season, everything I bought from you has thrived. I’ve been eating purple mangetout and Carter’s Polish beans for weeks now and they’re still going strong.

Laura, North Kessock

Desert Spirit Landrace did exceptionally well in my polycrub here in the Western Isles - I even won the pumpkin growing competition that we put up for local growers and allotment holders.

Susanne, Isle of Lewis

I want to thank you for my Garden of Abundance. I’m a new gardener to Scotland and your seeds have given me such joy. I can hardly keep up with eating the rocket and I’ve planted my 2nd set of lettuce already.

Gay, Moray

My Black Isle broad beans are germinating after four days. How is that possible? ! Fab seed!

Janey, Highlands

I wanted to pass on the great success all of the seeds I bought from you have been.
Greatest success was ripe tomatoes (Scotland Yellow) on 7th of July - in Orkney!! Over two weeks later and none of my other varieties are even close to ripe.

Jenna, Orkney
