It looks just like the variety you get in the shops, and guess what? It is! But this classic beauty with its shiny black fruits tastes way better because you can pick it fresh and eat it right away. It’s a heritage vegetable variety that simply can’t be improved on, and it remains the most popular eggplant variety to this day.

Growing Information

How to Sow

Sow your seeds in spring after the last frosts, or get a head start on your crop by sowing in containers about two months earlier. You will only cover them with about 5mm of medium, so keep them moist.

How to Harvest

Pick your eggplants when they are shiny and black. When they lose their shine, they are overripe. Use a pair of scissors or secateurs, and leave a short piece of stem attached to the fruit.

100% germination
100% germination (8 seeds, 2 per jiffy pot) and looking forward to fruit in the summer. I used a heat mat to get the seeds started. Seedlings emerged between 10 and 14 days. Now thinned down to four strong plants, all with first set of true leaves.
