The variety is known for the attractive shape of its fruits. Their interesting appearance makes them sought after not only for culinary use.

You can successfully arrange and decorate your garden by sowing this variety. The colour is a refreshing green and the roundness of the courgettes makes them a great decorative accent in your garden space.

Despite their different shape compared to other varieties, these round vegetables do not fall behind in quality. The ways of consumption are the same as with standard types. You can eat them boiled, fried, baked or breaded. Stuffed courgettes are also an option. Their size is ideal for preparing stuffed round courgettes in the oven. You can cook them in meatless dishes or combine them with meat.

One of the attractive features of this variety is its high productivity. This fact makes many of our vegetable producers choose precisely these round courgettes.
You can use the courgettes in various dishes – moussaka, stews, soups and many more. They are ideal for both meatless and meat-based meals.

You can preserve the courgettes by freezing the fruits. To do this, cut them into cubes, divide into suitable containers and then freeze. You can also prepare a ready-made meal for the winter months by first frying the courgettes and freezing them in this form.
Growing the round courgettes does not require any special conditions compared to other types. A few points can be useful for you.
To begin with, there is no need to prepare seedlings in advance. The plants are grown in hills. That is, you place the seeds in prepared hills, leaving about 90 cm between the rows and about 50 cm between the hills. Put about 4–5 seeds in each hill. The seeds are sown at a depth of 5–6 cm.

The vegetation period is short; the courgettes manage to form quite quickly. Regular watering is important for the young plants.
For sowing 1 decare of land, prepare 250 to 450 g of seed.
Sowing the seeds of the round frying and baking courgettes Round de Nice is carried out towards the end of April, more precisely from the 20th to the 30th of the month. The minimum soil temperature required for germination is about ten degrees Celsius.
The yield you can obtain is in the range of 4 to 4.5 tons from 1 decare of plantings.

Beyond their impressive yield and charming appearance, Round de Nice courgettes are a very practical choice for gardeners who like to combine productivity with creativity. The compact shape of the fruits makes them extremely easy to portion and to plan with – one medium courgette often matches exactly one serving, whether you are cooking for a family dinner or preparing plates for guests. This is a small, but very real advantage in the kitchen, where uniform size often means less waste and more consistent results in the oven or on the stove.

In the garden, the plants themselves develop a pleasing, slightly spreading habit, but without the wild, trailing stems seen in some other squash. That makes them suitable not only for open fields, but also for smaller private plots, village gardens and mixed beds around the house. Many growers like to place a few hills close to paths or near the edge of the vegetable patch, so the round fruits are easily visible and can be picked at the right moment. The pale green colour stands out nicely against darker foliage, and when several fruits reach size at the same time, the plant looks almost ornamental.

From a culinary point of view Round de Nice is a variety that naturally invites experimentation. The thick walls and hollow centre are perfect for stuffing with rice, bulgur, minced meat, cheeses, mushrooms or mixed vegetable fillings. Because the fruits are round, they sit firmly in the baking dish and keep their shape during cooking, which makes them a favourite choice for elegant oven meals. Sliced horizontally, they can be turned into small “lids” and “cups”, ideal for individual portions. In stews and soups the flesh remains pleasantly tender and does not dissolve easily, which allows the courgettes to be visible and recognisable in the finished dish.

Restaurants and small farm shops often appreciate Round de Nice for another reason: they photograph well. A basket filled with pale green, round courgettes immediately catches the eye at a market stall or in an online photo. For growers who sell part of their production directly to customers, this visual appeal can make a real difference. Combined with bright peppers, tomatoes or herbs, the fruits help create attractive displays that communicate freshness and diversity without the need for extra decoration.

Home cooks who like to prepare food ahead of time will also find this variety convenient. When harvested at the right stage, the fruits can be processed in larger batches: some can be hollowed and partially baked, then frozen as “shells” ready for stuffing; others can be diced and blanched briefly before freezing for future soups, sauces and side dishes. Because the shape is naturally compact, Round de Nice fits well into freezer boxes and bags, which helps organise storage better. In winter, these ready portions turn into quick meals with the addition of a simple filling or a flavourful sauce.

Round de Nice courgettes can also play a special role in cooking for children and for people who are hesitant about vegetables. Their shape is reminiscent of small pumpkins or even fairy-tale characters, which makes it easy to turn them into playful, themed dishes – small “pumpkin bowls”, “vegetable bombs” or “green planets” filled with colourful ingredients. Many families discover that when the presentation is fun and different, it becomes easier to serve more vegetables without any resistance at the table.

From an agronomic perspective, the variety fits comfortably in a broader crop rotation. After early spring crops have left the soil free, Round de Nice can take over the bed and make good use of the warmer part of the season. Its relatively quick development allows the area to be cleared again in time for late autumn crops or green manures. This flexibility is valuable for growers who want to keep their soil active and covered for most of the year, instead of leaving bare, unused patches.

On a more aesthetic level, these round courgettes build a bridge between the vegetable garden and decorative planting. Used alongside marigolds, nasturtiums, basil or purple basil, they create a mixed border that is both beautiful and edible. Some gardeners even plant them near terraces and seating areas, where the combination of foliage and fruits adds a relaxed, Mediterranean feeling to the outdoor space. In this sense, Round de Nice is more than a vegetable – it is a design element that adds softness and charm to the structure of the whole garden.

In summary, one packet of Round de Nice seeds is not just a source of yield measured in kilograms per decare. It is a source of ideas: for new recipes, for more attractive plates, for market stalls with character, and for gardens that look alive and well thought out. Whether you are a hobby gardener with a small plot behind the house or a producer who supplies local shops and restaurants, this variety gives you something extra – a recognisable, memorable product that stands out in the field, in the crate and on the plate.
