F1 Atena Polka

F1 Atena Polka Courgette

Bright, bold, and beautifully productive, it brings a splash of sunshine to your veg patch! This compact bush variety produces an abundance of vibrant yellow courgettes with smooth skins and creamy white flesh. They look stunning in the garden and taste even better in the pan. Plus, the cheerful yellow flowers are edible and delicious when stuffed or lightly fried.

Harvest

Pick when fruits reach around 10cm long.
• Harvest regularly to keep the plant producing continuously.

Growing Instructions

• Planting: Space plants 50cm apart in well-drained soil in a sunny, sheltered position.
• Containers: Perfect for pots on the patio, but they also look gorgeous tucked among flowers in beds.
• Watering: Keep well watered until established and during dry spells — courgettes love consistent moisture.
• Care: Remove any yellowing leaves and give plants room to spread.

Top Tips

• Flower Feast: Use the bright yellow flowers in salads, stuff them with cheese, or batter and fry for a real treat.
• Pick Young: Smaller fruits are sweeter, firmer, and far more flavourful.
• Mulch Well: Mulching helps retain moisture and boosts yields throughout summer.
