Black Beauty Zucchini Heirloom Squash Vegetable Seeds
Cucurbita pepo
Listing is for 1 packet, minimum of 15 seeds
This is a perfect standard market variety of zucchini. Also known as courgette, Black Beauty is very productive and produces dark green glossy zucchini. Harvest when they are 6-8 inches long for the best flavor and texture. Be vigilant about harvesting because If left on the vine for just a few more days, they get very long (almost 24 inches) and the texture is not that great for eating. I like to hand pollinate the female squash flowers to ensure each one will produce fruit. With that said, I recommend you plant at least 3 plants so that way you always have a male flower to use for pollinating the female flowers.

Orders are shipped in 1-3 business days excluding holidays or delays due to natural disasters like hurricanes.
Seeds are shipped in bubble mailers so they will not be pushed through USPS roller machines which can damage the seeds. I will not ship seeds in an envelope for this reason.
Seeds will be shipped with no planting instructions to keep seed costs low to the buyer. Germination and plant care information is included in the description. I encourage each gardener to research specifics on how to be successful growing them. I also have lots of information on my TikTok, Instagram and YouTube channel all under the account name jerrasgarden. I started this shop to share my love of certain seed varieties and spread the knowledge of gardening. Please contact me if you can't find information or have additional questions.
Orders with live plants are packed on Mondays and Thursdays (excluding holidays or delays because of natural disasters. Plants are shipped in boxes with packaging material to protect them while they are in transit.
No returns or refunds once shipped. I am not responsible for lost or damaged packages caused by USPS. Since there are so many factors that affect germination and growing success, no refunds or exchanges are allowed once seeds have shipped. These are the same seeds I use in my personal garden so I can attest to their viability. Seeds are fresh season to season.
