Zucchini plants are typically bushy, although some varieties may form vines. Plants have large palmately lobed leaves, small prickly trichomes, and large unisexual flowers with five yellow-orange petals. They grow best in well-drained, slightly acidic soil with ample moisture. They require warm weather with soil temperatures above 21 °C (70 °F) and benefit from slightly raised soil beds.
