🥒 Marrow 'Nefertiti'
🥒 Botanical Name: Cucurbita pepo 'Nefertiti'
🥒 Type: Tender Annual (Vegetable)

Marrow 'Nefertiti' is a vigorous, high-yielding variety that produces dark green, glossy fruits with tender flesh and excellent flavour. Bred for compact, semi-bushy growth, it's ideal for gardens with limited space, and can even be grown in large containers. The fruits are typically harvested when young as courgettes, or left to mature into full-sized marrows for stuffing, roasting, or storage. A great all-rounder that delivers both productivity and versatility.
