Variety description

10 August 2026

The name Verde scuro translates from Italian as "dark green" and most often denotes a group of zucchini varieties with the corresponding fruit color. In scientific and breeding literature, specific forms are encountered, such as the round-fruited variety Tondo Verde Scuro di Piacenza and the compact bush Bascuro a Palla Verde Scuro.

Plants of this group predominantly have a bush habit, ranging from compact, suitable for containers, to more vigorous ones. The fruits belong to the zucchini type and are characterized by dark green, often glossy skin and tender flesh. Varieties of this type are classified as early or mid-early.

The use of these fruits is universal: they are suitable for fresh consumption and various types of culinary processing, including frying, stewing, and stuffing. When purchasing seeds, this name more often indicates a color group; therefore, to determine specific plant characteristics, the full variety name must be specified.
