Black Beauty (Cucurbita pepo) is the zucchini that defined the American kitchen garden — a compact, bushy heirloom producing heavy yields of glossy, dark green fruits with creamy white flesh and mild, buttery flavor. Best harvested at 6–8 inches for peak tenderness. One of the most productive vegetables you can grow. 50 days.
Direct sow outdoors after last frost in full sun, or start indoors 2–3 weeks before transplanting. Sow 1 inch deep, spacing plants 24–36 inches apart. Water consistently at the base. Harvest frequently to encourage continuous production.
