RHS Courgette Defender F1 Seeds by Mr Fothergill’s are hybrid vegetable seeds designed to produce fast growing, disease resistant courgette plants with an early and extended harvest season.

Ideal for growing in vegetable gardens, allotments, raised beds and larger containers. Suitable for gardeners looking for reliable cropping, strong disease resistance and easy harvesting. Best used in full sun growing positions with fertile, well prepared soil.

Courgette Defender F1 produces vigorous plants with an open habit, making harvesting easier and more accessible throughout the season. The strong resistance to disease helps maintain healthy growth, supporting consistent cropping from early summer through autumn.

These seeds are part of the Mr Fothergill’s range produced in partnership with the Royal Horticultural Society. Courgette Defender F1 is a Winner of the RHS Award of Garden Merit for reliability and performance under UK growing conditions.
