Description
Vintage Dwarf of Italy is a traditional Italian bush marrow that stays compact instead of sprawling across the garden. Smooth dark green fruits with firm, mild flesh. The bush habit means it fits in a raised bed or large container.
Harvest young for courgette-sized fruits, or leave to grow into full marrows for stuffing. Part of the Vintage 1928 range with the original Franchi catalogue artwork on the packet.
