Which flowers do I pick off my zucchini plant? The zucchini plants have male and female flowers. You will want to pick the male, as the females grow the zucchini. Each plant will have more than enough male flowers. Just be sure to leave some behind for pollination.
Where can I find zucchini flowers? In case you don’t have a green thumb and a garden full of zucchini plants like my in-laws in Italy, you should be able to find them at farmers markets and some specialty markets. In Italy, they are packaged in bunches and I’ve seen them in the summer at every grocery store.
