{"product_id":"rg-squash-summer-zucchini-astia","title":"‘Astia’ Container Zucchini Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eAstia zucchini is a compact, French-bred bush variety developed for container growing and small garden spaces. Its non-rambling habit makes it perfect for patios, raised beds, and tight planting areas. The plants produce attractive, silvery-green, deeply indented leaves that add ornamental value while sheltering the developing fruit. Early-bearing and prolific, Astia sets glossy green zucchini close to the plant’s base, making them easy to spot and harvest regularly for best quality. This variety thrives in warm weather and will continue producing over a long season when picked frequently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVariety Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrop category:\u003c\/strong\u003e Squash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecorded feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Container Compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct format:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seed packet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSowing \u0026amp; Growing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight at Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18–24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun\/Shade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring or Summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStarting location:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct Sow or Start Indoors \u0026amp; Transplant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow ‘Astia’ Container Zucchini after the soil has warmed and frost danger has passed, or transplant established seedlings without disturbing their roots more than necessary. Preserve the recorded spacing because broad leaves and vines can occupy more room than young plants suggest. Check soil moisture at root depth and direct water toward the soil. Once fruit develops, inspect plants frequently and harvest at the stage appropriate to summer or winter squash. Use clean cuts to avoid damaging stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for home gardeners and urban growers, Astia zucchini performs well in rich, well-draining soil and benefits from consistent moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results, plant after danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures have warmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore sowing ‘Astia’ Container Zucchini, review the packet alongside the current product details and note any range in temperature, germination, or maturity. Ranges reflect biological and seasonal variation rather than a fixed promise. Label each planting with its date and location, then compare emergence, growth, and harvest with local weather. This record is useful for succession plantings and for deciding whether the crop fits better into an earlier or later seasonal window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore related options in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all-seed-packs-and-bulk-seeds\"\u003eSeeds Collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Renee's Garden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21544245624945,"sku":"SNV5943","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/1391\/9089\/products\/renee-s-garden-squash-summer-zucchini-astia.jpg?v=1747083986","url":"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/products\/rg-squash-summer-zucchini-astia","provider":"Grow Organic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
