What do zucchini seed look like?

Zucchini seeds are pointy ovals and cream or light tan in color. The seeds of zucchinis are flat and very similar in appearance to other squash seeds and even gourd and pumpkin seeds. It is always best to start with good quality seeds from a reliable supplier, as it is the first step to a successful zucchini crop.

Germinating Zucchini Seeds Indoors

The best way to germinate zucchini seeds is to put them in a cup of water, and I recommended that you only soak the seeds for 24 hours and no more than 48 hours. Too much soaking in water and the seeds will drown!

• Space seeds widely on a moist paper towel in a covered plastic container.
• Zucchini seeds should germinate within a week if kept moist at temperatures of 70° to 95 °F.
• Check the seeds daily and as soon as a root emerges you can plant is small pots, or you can plant directly outdoors. 

• Use much care when handling these tiny, delicate roots. 
• If some roots have grown into the paper towel, just tear it carefully and plant the germinated seed with paper towel attached, there is no problem.
