Long Green Bush Marrow Seeds

[70 days] This bushy marrow variety is best known for its large fruits, which are perfect for stuffing and baking. A prolific producer, just 1-2 plants will produce plenty of traditional, dark-green marrows with lighter stripes. Easy to grow with high yields, this variety has bulkier fruit and drier flesh than the classic courgette.

Unlike the trailing version, this Long green Marrow is compact and bushy, so if you’re short on garden space but like your marrows, this is the one to choose.

Pick when young and tender.

Height: 45cm (18”) Spread: 90cm (35”)

Common Questions

What temperature is best to germinate Long Green Bush marrow? Marrows like warm weather when germinating. Best sown from mid-April onwards.

What is eating my Long Green Bush fruits? Snails and slugs are the usual pests that will attack your young seedlings. You can protect your young plants by cutting top bottom off of a large squash bottle and place it over the plants to protect them from bugs and insects.

How often should you water Long Green Bush plants? Once your marrow plants are established and growing at a fast rate you should be able to water them once a week. Make sure to avoid wetting your plant and only the soil surrounding it.
