- Quick to mature
- Heavy harvests of tasty courgettes all summer long

Compact and high-yielding, Courgette ‘Ambassador’ is ideal for growing in containers or small veg plots.

Enjoy them steamed, fried, roasted or stuffed, and pick regularly to encourage the plant to keep producing more!
How you will receive your plants:
Selected by our team of experts and sent from our nursery, you will receive your plant in a 13cm pot, ready to plant out once all risk of frost is past.
Can’t plant straight away?
Place in a sheltered frost-free environment and water regularly to keep the compost moist
Once the frosts are over, harden the plants off for at least a week before planting out by placing them outdoors during the day and bringing them back indoors at night.
Planting tips and hints:
Dig a hole approximately twice as deep and 3 times as wide as the plant’s rootball. If your soil is heavy mix in a soil improver before backfilling. Place the plant in the hole so that it sits at the same level in the ground as it did in the pot. Firm the soil around the plant and water thoroughly. When planting in a container, use a good quality multipurpose compost.
Feeding and aftercare:
Water regularly. Once the flowers appear, feed fortnightly with a high-potash liquid feed such as tomato feed. Pick the fruits regularly to encourage the plant to keep producing more.*Planting and flowering months below are subject to seasonal weather conditions.
Warning: Extremely rarely, courgettes may produce very bitter fruit that cause stomach upset. This can be tested by licking the cut surface of one fruit per plant; bitter fruit should not be eaten.
