courgette 'Black Beauty'

A compact, prolifically fruiting cultivar, which produces smooth-skinned, very dark green courgettes, which are ready to harvest when approximately 15-20cm (6-8in) in length. These are produced over a long period from July to October, if the fruits are regularly picked. Its relatively compact habit, makes it suitable for growing in containers where border space is limited. The bright yellow flowers are attractive to pollinating insects. The flowers can also be picked and used in cooking
