Black Beauty Zucchini
- Fruit size: 6 to 8 inches
- Matures: 48 days
A 1957 All America Selections winner, this early and prolific heirloom variety has been exceedingly popular for its very dark green skin and creamy white flesh. You know what they say about zucchini, "plant it and stand back." The fast-growing plants are very easy to grow and will continue to produce abundantly through summer if kept picked. Use in soups, salads, and casseroles. Great sliced thin for dips, battered and fried, or in veggie lasagna. Freezes well. Harvest while skins are still tender; pick really small for "baby zucchini." Set three transplants 3 to 4 inches apart in hills spaced 3 to 4 feet apart.
Some Bonnie Plants varieties may not be available at your local stores, as we select and sell varieties best suited to the growing conditions in each region.

I use a tomato cage around my zucchini just to help with support and so the plant doesn't take over my vegetable garden. I live in zone 7a/b (Hampton Roads, VA) and these babies grow FAST! I transplanted at the end of May and I would say the plant stands 5 feet tall (tomato cage) and I have already had my first harvest of 4 seven inchers with several more ready in the next day or two.
