Zucchini is highly valued not only for its taste, but also for its ease of cultivation, as well as the rich number of useful properties that it has. If you want to get a large harvest of vitamin and dietary vegetables until the onset of autumn frosts, then you should pay attention to the relatively new Scilli hybrid.
Characteristics of vegetables

The plant is bushy, compact, vigorous. The fruits have a regular cylindrical shape. The length of a mature vegetable reaches 18-21 cm. The mass of one vegetable can reach one kilogram. Fruit color is pale green. The pulp is white, tender. Zucchini is a dietary product, so many amateur vegetable growers grow it with great pleasure in their beds.
Of the advantages of the variety, it should be noted its good resistance to diseases of the pumpkin yellow mosaic virus, as well as watermelon mosaic.
The yield of the variety is high. In the first month of fruiting, you can collect up to 480 centners of vegetables from one hectare of land.
Plant care is as follows:
- timely watering (especially during flowering and fruiting);
