Green Griller Squash is a hybrid zucchini variety that produces dark-green, egg-shaped fruits that are perfect for slicing and grilling. In addition to the beautiful coloration, this zucchini squash variety has a delicious, nutty flavor and a texture that holds well after cooking. These will produce heavily within an 8-week window once plants start producing flowers.
Green Griller Squash produces plants with an open-bush growing habit, which makes for easy harvesting. The plants also have very few spines, which keeps the fruits blemish-free during the harvesting process. Slice these in half, add olive oil and seasonings, and throw on the grill for an excellent summer treat!
Green Griller Squash may be direct-seeded or transplanted, although we highly recommend direct seeding. To ensure a good stand, we recommend planting Seeds every 12" along the intended row. Once plants emerge, thin plants to one every 2 feet. Winter Squash can be susceptible to plant diseases like downy mildew and powdery mildew if leaves receive excess moisture. As a result, we recommend using drip irrigation on winter squash to reduce plant moisture and feed plants more effectively. During periods of heavy rainfall, using a fungicide like Liquid Copper can help to alleviate disease pressure as well.

I grew one plant of green griller zucchini last year in zone 7a. It produced from May to September with no pest or disease pressure. I kept waiting for something to take it out like any other squash I’ve grown, but Green Griller kept right on going. It gave my husband and me all we needed for the summer. It has great flavor and also keeps well in the refrigerator.
I love these little zucchini. The plant is relatively compact yet provides a constant supply of little griller zucchini. Very tasty.
It’s hard for me now to want to grow any other kind of squash. I reside in zone 10A Florida and this green griller squash has been my best squash to grow to date. Taste and texture is great, plus it’s just a good looking squash. It’s also a fast producer which I really appreciate. Thank you Hoss for providing this great variety!
Very fast shipping and extremely fast germination!! So far very impressed! Now to wait for the plant to fruit!! Will definitely reorder seeds!!
The seeds germinated very good. I think every seed I planted came up in a few days and are growing like crazy.
