    It is confusing to buy seeds of this variety because I had seen it spelled Cavilli with two l's and Cavili with one l. No matter which way you spell it, this is a delicious very light green zucchini that has a creamy texture and great taste. Parthenocarpic variety, which means it does not need a pollinator.
