Zucchini – Black Beauty (15 seeds)

Zucchini - Black Beauty

Zucchini 'Black Beauty' is a traditional and highly productive variety producing glossy, dark green fruit with tender, mild flesh and a clean flavour that is excellent for grilling, roasting, sautéing, and baking. Fast growing and reliable, it delivers consistent crops all summer long when harvested regularly, making it one of the most dependable and widely grown zucchini varieties available for the home garden. A proven favourite that rewards growers with generous yields season after season.

Compact and bushy in habit, 'Black Beauty' thrives in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture through the growing season. Harvest at 15–20 cm for the best flavour and texture, and pick regularly to keep plants productive and prevent fruit from becoming oversized and seedy.
