An early, extremely productive heirloom zucchini introduced in the United States in the late 1950s that still has a role to play today: this is the ideal variety for backyard and urban gardens. Plants produce the archetypal slender green fruit that we've come to expect from zucchini. It has a bush-like habit, but it has been known to travel. When planting be considerate of future growth and provide ample spacing. Zucchini is an annual plant that requires full sun to grow. Seeds are certified organic. At Plant Good Seed, we are in the business of life. All our seeds are germination tested for viability to ensure you have a high quality growing experience. Specifications Common Name: Black Beauty Zucchini Scientific Name: Cucurbita pepo Description: An heirloom variety that produces green medium sized fruits in the classic shape. Plant Lifespan: Annual Cold Hardiness: Zone 9b Light Requirements: Full Sun (min. 6 hours a day) Seed In: Late Spring Seeding Depth: 3/4 - 1 in.

Average Days from Seed to Harvest: 60-70 Planting Details As with all zucchini varieties, harvesting the fruits consistently prolong the production and life span of the plant. In the height of the growing season when the fruits grow extremely fast, we harvest twice a week: one "maintenance" harvest, and then another a couple days later for our Community Supported Agriculture shares. With the proper care and planting consideration, zucchini plants can last all season - and beyond, in some cases.
