Black Beauty Zucchini (Cucurbita pepo) is a classic heirloom summer squash known for its smooth, dark green to almost black skin and tender, creamy white flesh. This highly productive variety yields an abundance of straight, cylindrical fruits that reach 6–8 inches when harvested at their peak. Known for its mild, slightly sweet flavor and firm texture, Black Beauty Zucchini is ideal for grilling, sautéing, baking, and even spiralizing into zucchini noodles. The compact, bushy plants are easy to grow and thrive in warm, sunny conditions.

Growing Instructions

Direct-sow Black Beauty Zucchini seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to at least 70°F. Sow seeds 1 inch deep, spaced 18–24 inches apart in rows 36–48 inches apart. Zucchini thrives in full sun and rich, well-draining soil. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during fruit production, and mulch to help retain moisture. Harvest when fruits are 6–8 inches long for the best flavor and texture. Regular harvesting encourages continuous production throughout the summer.
