South Pacific Seeds Columbia F1 Lebanese Zucchini Seeds (100 Seeds) – Multi-Virus Tolerant Hybrid

Multi-Virus Tolerant Lebanese Zucchini Seeds for Quality, Glossy Fruit

South Pacific Seeds Columbia is a multi-virus tolerant Lebanese zucchini, highly recommended for anyone growing Lebanese fruit types. This F1 hybrid produces fruit of exceptional quality with a nice, glossy, clean skin, and has become a major variety in the Sydney basin. This pack contains 100 seeds, a good size for keen home gardeners and smaller market growers.

The plant has an upright, open habit that makes the crop easy to work through and pick, and its fruit type is similar to the well-known Clarita variety. That combination of clean, uniform, glossy fruit and a tidy plant is what makes Columbia a reliable choice for growers who want a good-looking, marketable crop.

Columbia also carries intermediate resistance to Watermelon Mosaic Virus (WMV) and Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus (ZYMV), two of the more troublesome viruses for zucchini. That built-in tolerance helps keep the crop healthier and more productive, and it suits both open field and covered cropping, so it performs across a range of growing setups.

When and How to Grow

Zucchini is a warm-season crop, so sow once the soil and air have warmed and the risk of cold has passed. Sow into fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny position, or raise seedlings and transplant once established. Give plants room for the upright, open habit, keep water up consistently, and feed through the growing season to support steady fruiting. Pick fruit young and often at your preferred size to keep the plant producing over a longer period.
