Aubergine ‘Black Beauty’


A glossy, deep purple stallion, long, firm, and undeniably eager to please. Sleek and voluptuous, he teases with every curve, swelling under your gaze, promising rich, plump fruits that glisten like midnight silk.

Sowing & Growing
Awaken him indoors from February to March, keeping the soil warm at 20–25°C. Let him stretch and thicken in his pot, then move into a larger one when he’s ready to show off. After the last frost, place him in a heated greenhouse or conservatory, basking in full sunlight. Space him 45cm apart — he loves room to flex, spread, and grow bold.

Care & Conditions
Keep him moist but never drowned. Feed him weekly once his flower comes out; he thrives on attention and rewards it with vigorous, lusty growth. Pinch out his tip at 30cm to make him bushier, more eager to give, and bursting with fruit.

Harvesting
Claim him when his fruits are firm, full, and glossy. Pick regularly, and he’ll keep giving, producing more succulent treasures all season long. Greenhouse-grown, warm, and bold, your Black Beauty is a muscular, teasing companion that leaves your garden — and your appetite — wanting more.
