This ultra dark coloured heirloom 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.

An early start can really help with aubergine crops. Sow aubergine seeds from January to April indoors, supplementing light if necessary. 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 temperature of 18-21C until after germination which takes 10-14 days. Once plants are roughly 20cm high, feed weekly with a quarter strength organic feed.
Plant out after all risk 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.
Sowing Months: February – May
Harvest Months: July – October
Position: Full sun
