Scallopini - Golden Orb (10 seeds)

Scallopini - Golden Orb

Scallopini 'Golden Orb' is a bright and cheerful heritage pattypan variety producing vivid golden fruit with distinctive scalloped edges and tender, nutty-sweet flesh that is excellent for roasting, grilling, and stuffing. Harvested young at 5–8 cm wide, the fruit is at its most flavoursome and tender, making regular picking both rewarding and essential for keeping plants productive through the summer season. A striking and generous variety that adds real colour and character to the summer vegetable garden.

Vigorous and high-yielding, 'Golden Orb' thrives in full sun with rich, well-drained soil and consistent moisture. Regular harvesting encourages continued fruit set and prevents plants from diverting energy into oversized, less tender produce. A reliable and productive choice for any home garden wanting a bold and beautiful summer squash.
