Key Characteristics
Description / Spineless Perfection Zucchini Seeds
Days to Maturity: 40
This zucchini has the same great flavor as Spineless Beauty but with improved disease resistance. Easy to pick plant with a delicious crisp flavor. You will find minimal scarring on this spineless perfection. These attractive and open planted zucchinis make harvesting easy.
Intermediate resistance to powdery mildew, watermelon mosaic virus, and zucchini yellow mosaic virus. Zucchini is easy to grow and is very versatile in the kitchen. Zucchini bread, zucchini noodles, roasting, sautéing, you name it.
Summer squash ripens during the hot summer months and, thin-skinned, is best eaten fresh. Sow seeds 1 inch deep directly into the garden after the danger of frost is past. Thin the seedlings to 24 inches apart, or plant several seeds in hills 4 feet apart and then thin to 2 plants per hill. (For even earlier harvests, start seeds indoors.) Pick when the fruits are still small (4 to 8 inches long).
Summer squash can be planted any time after there is no longer a danger of frost—from early spring until midsummer. Summer squash will produce excellent yields in any well-drained soil. Harvest your summer squash when they're small and tender. They can over mature rather quickly since they develop so rapidly after pollination, so check your crop frequently in order to pick them at their peak quality. Elongated varieties are best at 2 inches or less in diameter and about 6 to 8 inches long. The smaller "Patty Pan" types are best at 3 to 4 inches in diameter. If your squash does get too large it can still be used for things such as stuffing or grating into breads and other dishes. Summer squash develop very quickly and are ready to pick within 4 to 8 days of flowering. This is especially true in hot weather.
Take care when harvesting your squash—they can bruise and scratch easily, and the leafstalks and stems are prickly, so they can irritate unprotected hands and arms. Wear gloves and harvest with pruning shears or a sharp knife. Storing your summer squash: place unwashed fruit in plastic bags in your refrigerator's crisper. Use within 2 or 3 days for best quality. The open blossoms (before the fruits appear) are also edible—they're delicious dipped in batter and fried.

None germinated 0 people found this helpfulNone of the zucchini seeds have germinated. I planted them indoors in soil on a heating pad. I put the remaining in a moist paper towel to see if any would germinate and none did. I don't think this is an issue with these seed specifically, and it is more likely a quality control issue. Last year I bought a pack of Celosia Dragons Breath (51106-PK-P1) that did not germinate either. I was sent another package and they grew fine. It was great that they are willing to send a replacement, but it throws off the growing schedule and it wastes your effort.

I Recommend These Seeds 0 people found this helpfulI recommend these seeds because I received them fast. I am in Zone 8 and was able to get my seeds to germinate quickly in a raised garden bed. So far, no troubles! All I care about is fast, reliable shipping and that the seeds germinate. Park Seed has been a reliable resource for me!
Response from store

Review of the squash 0 people found this helpfulI planted the seeds indoors and I have zero seeds that germinated. I have planted indoors for years but this is the first time I have had not even one seed germinate. I am very disappointed. I had very good luck last year with Park Seed seeds...but it appears not this year. I don't know what to do now...do you?
Response from store
Thank you for your review, and we're so sorry to hear your zucchini seeds didn’t germinate—especially after such great success in the past. That’s understandably frustrating, and it’s not the experience we want you to have.
We’ll be reaching out via email shortly to follow up and help make this right.
If you’re starting zucchini indoors, a few quick tips: Sow seeds about 2–4 weeks before your last frost date. Plant them ½ inch deep in a warm spot (ideally 70–85°F), and keep the soil moist but not soggy. Zucchini typically germinate within 7–10 days. Once they have two sets of true leaves, they’ll be ready to harden off and transplant.
Thanks again for reaching out—we’re here to help every step of the way! -

5 Stars! 0 people found this helpfulI live in the hot/humid Carolinas, have clay soil, and not even total full sun (almost but not quite) and I just harvested my first big zucchini! I can’t tell you how much I’m excited about this. These seeds are very disease resistant and just very hardy!

Strange Smell and Taste 0 people found this helpfulHave grown and/or cooked zucchini for many years and have never had any smell or taste like this. I am growing two different varieties in my garden this year. The other variety, which I have grown before, smells/tastes fine, but this Spineless Perfection is just not good. It's not a bitter taste, just a strange taste and smell. We have only eaten one meal from it, but I am putting it in the freezer for the winter. I hope it's okay and doesn't make us sick. The plants emerged quickly and look beautiful and healthy. They lay open along the ground very wide. Seem to stand up to high winds better than some other varieties.

Disaster 0 people found this helpfulThree separate plantings of multiple seeds. ZERO seeds germinated. Used Park’s Bio Dome for two plantings, the third was just in a tray of water to see if the seeds would sprout at all. Nothing. Not a single seed even began to sprout. Virtually everything else we planted in the same Bio Dome germinated quickly and completely and is doing great.

Skip this one 0 people found this helpfulVigorous plants with lots of fruit trying to set. All female flowers failed to open with no fruit (not one!) as a result. Other zucchini and summer squash produced prolifically right along side it. Pass this one up.
