Product information
Marrow Tiger Cross F1 – RHS Award Winner
Experience the Marrow Tiger Cross F1, an RHS Award-winning exhibition variety. This traditional-looking fruit features dark green skin with lighter green stripes and grows with a bush habit. Harvest young as courgettes or allow them to mature into marrows. Cut marrows before the first frost and store in a frost-free, cool area for winter use. Unlike courgettes, the tough skin should be removed before or after cooking. Delicious when roasted with a little olive oil, they make a fresh and delightful addition to any dinner.
Handy Tip: You can harvest the fruits young like courgettes or let them mature into marrows. Pick regularly to keep the plants productive.

| Where to Sow | Sow seeds on edge in pots during April to May, spaced apart under glass at suitable temperatures using good quality seed sowing compost. For outdoor sowing, plant seeds directly into the growing site from mid-May to June, placing 2 to 3 seeds in each position. |
| What to Do Next | Greenhouse sowings should be gradually hardened off once they have developed the first pair of rough leaves. Transplant them to the growing site in late-May to early-June. For outdoor sowings, thin them to one plant per station. |
