Description

Zucchini ‘Black Beauty’ is a highly productive variety. Although a bush, it can be trained onto a strong support to grow vertically, increasing airflow and reducing risk of fungal attack. ‘Black Beauty’ is the popular, dark-skinned variety sold in Australia.
Zucchini ‘Black Beauty’ can cross-pollinate with other varieties of Cucurbita pepo (e.g. other zucchinis, most varieties called “squash” and many small pumpkins).
