Zucchino da Fiore, also known as San Pasquale, is an Italian heirloom variety valued for both its tender zucchini and the beautiful blossoms that are a delicacy in Italian cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe large flowers can be harvested early in the morning when they first open. Enjoy them the traditional way—stuffed with cheese, lightly battered, and fried—or slice the blossoms into salads, pasta dishes, frittatas, and other recipes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen pollinated, the flowers also develop into delicious zucchini, making this a versatile dual-purpose variety for gardeners who want to harvest both squash and blossoms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike compact bush zucchini, Zucchino da Fiore has a \u003cstrong\u003erunning growth habit\u003c\/strong\u003e and should be given plenty of room to spread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor transplants, start seeds in individual containers approximately 2–3 weeks before the last frost and transplant carefully once the soil has warmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor direct sowing, plant 5–6 seeds in a 7–8 inch circle and thin to the strongest 2–3 plants, spacing hills approximately 5 feet apart.
