Vegetable Zucchini Black Beauty

The Ultimate Summer Squash

Zucchini Black Beauty is the gold standard of zucchini — a vigorous, incredibly productive heirloom variety that has been a garden staple for generations. Its deep, glossy dark green fruits are tender, mild, and versatile in the kitchen, while its bold yellow flowers are a stunning bonus that are delicious stuffed or battered and fried.

Why You'll Love It

• Exceptionally productive — one plant can feed a family all summer
• Deep, glossy dark green fruits with tender, mild flesh
• Harvest small (15–20 cm) for the best flavour and texture
• Beautiful golden flowers that are edible and great for stuffing

Growing Tips

Plant in full sun after the last frost in rich, well-draining soil. Zucchini needs space — allow at least 90 cm between plants. Water deeply at the base and avoid wetting the leaves to prevent mildew. Harvest frequently — the more you pick, the more it produces. Don't let fruits get too large or production will slow.
