How to grow "Rheinau Gold" zucchini plants from seed?
- In pots, from March to May. We recommend 2 to 3 seeds per pot. Seedlings should be sown 2 to 3 weeks before transplanting. To ensure optimum growth, seeds should not be sown too early, as this can lead to fibrous roots. The seeds should be kept at a temperature of between 18 and 20°C until they emerge. Keep the substrate moist to help the seeds germinate.
- Sow outdoors from April to June. To sow directly in the garden, wait until the last frosts have passed and choose a sunny spot. In the vegetable garden, prepare holes 2 weeks in advance, filled with compost or organic matter and spaced 1 m apart in all directions, to accommodate the zucchini plants or seeds.

WHY DOESN'T MY ZUCCHINI PLANT PRODUCE FLOWERS OR FRUIT?
When a zucchini plant doesn't produce flowers or fruit, there may be several reasons.
High temperatures can prevent zucchini plants from producing and developing flowers, and therefore fruit. Poor pollination can also be the cause of fruit failure. It is therefore important to grow several zucchini plants together and attract pollinating insects to ensure good fertilization of the flowers.
