Sunburst, pattypan squash

2g approx 20 seeds per packet 
C. pepo. Sunburst scallopini seeds produce a big bush bearing vivid deep yellow pattypans that look like jewels. These dazzling miniatures are best picked at 5cm (2"). Steam them whole or saut̩ée in a little butter. These tasty summer squash remain tender up to about 15cm (6") in diameter, but we prefer picking them shortly after pollination. The female flowers can also be picked the morning they open and stuffed, with the immature fruit ovary attached at the base. This makes a very striking addition to any gourmet meal, and the edible flowers are mild and delicious. Winner of the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
Growers tip: on the flower farm, we pick them at about 5” diameter. We dice & slice them and freeze dry them for cooking use all year long. This variety is very good as an addition to pasta sauces or zucchini relish recipes. Skin is tender on them, and we keep the skin on.
