Seedling, Eggplant, Black Beauty
Solanum melongena
This is your classic eggplant! The bulbous, dark purple and shiny fruit is tender and meaty. You are sure to love the great taste and texture in all your recipes. Black Beauty is great for gardeners and provides great productivity and quality for organic farmers and small producers. Height reaches up to 80 cm.
Sow in the beginning to the end of February into seedling trays in a warm place. Seedlings can be transplanted to pots or the field when about 5 cm high. Transplant starting from May 20th into a greenhouse or the field at a distance of 60 cm on all sides. Protect your transplants by covering with garden fleece initially. Tie stalks to a stake for support. Always pinch off the first bloom of flowers to encourage sturdy stalks and deep roots.
