Who pollinates courgette flowers?
Who is responsible for pollinating courgette and marrow flowers?
Click this link for information on how to grow courgettes.
To allow the bees and insects do their job of pollinating the female flowers, the gardener should lure the insects into the garden by making it attractive for them. Growing colourful flowers in the vegetable garden will draw bees in and encourage pollination. It is useful to keep several pots of annual flower plants in the veg garden and the green house as the insects will be attracted to them and more insects means more pollination.
Then it will be the bees and other insects who pollinate the courgette flowers!
