Well-appreciated in the garden and in the kitchen, squashes have various forms and colours. As well as long green squashes - always the most popular on supermarket shelves - there are yellow or white squashes, and even some round types.
It was impossible for us to ignore this diversity and we just had to suggest a selection of our favourite varieties to you!

Green squash: ASTIA
Where space is limited, we recommend ASTIA, as its reduced plant-habit is perfect for small gardens. And that’s not all! ASTIA also impresses with its earliness and good tolerances, especially to powdery-mildew, one of the main garden diseases. With a strong green colour and an incomparably shiny skin, ASTIA offers very high quality fruits. Its narrow leaves help when picking the fruits and so make the harvest easier.

Round squash: BOLDENICE
Why limit ourselves to long squashes when we can have a round squash? It’s the temptation launched with BOLDENICE, one of our new varieties for 2020. Similar to ‘la ronde de Nice’, this bicolour squash has a low susceptibility to powdery-mildew,is very vigorous and productive, and its plant remains clean even a month after harvest. In summary, the esthetic appeal of its fruit completes the numerous qualities of this variety.

White squash: LOREA
To conclude this selection, we chose the variety LOREA. Despite it being the classic long type of squash, LOREA shows all its individuality by having cylindrical white fruits. Well-appreciated in garden for its productivity, it will delight all taste buds with its soft and sweet flavour.
