Aubergine Black Beauty

£2.95

This ultra dark coloured aubergine is super reliable and produces loads of fruits throughout the summer season.  One of our favourites, due to its good texture and excellent flavour.  Great on the barbeque or in well loved Mediterranean dishes.  Aubergines prefer to be grown indoors in a greenhouse or polytunnel to get the best cropping.

Very tender perennial, treat as an annual.

Average 10 seeds.

Growing Information

Sowing info

An early start can really help with aubergine crops. Sow aubergine seeds indoors, supplementing light if sowing early. Sow seeds on the surface of a free draining, moist peat free compost and just cover with vermiculite or compost. Place somewhere warm with a minimum temperature of 21C. Germination takes 10-14 days. Once plants are roughly 20cm high, feed weekly with a quarter strength organic feed.

Growing info

Plant out after all risk of frost has passed. Grow aubergines in a sheltered position in full sun. Aubergines will perform better when grown in a greenhouse or polytunnel. Water regularly to prevent buds from dropping.
