Solanum melongena

HEIRLOOM. This old standard was introduced in 1902, and remains a favorite for growing tender, thin-skinned, globe-type eggplant. The beautiful, deep purple-black fruits with slight ribbing are best harvested when 6 to 7 inches long and glossy-skinned.

Black Beauty eggplant should be started indoors about 8 weeks before the last frost date, and transplanted outside after all danger of frost has passed. It needs full sun, well drained soil, and plenty of warm weather. Plants will begin to bear ripe fruit about 75 days after transplanting. 0.2 gram packet contains approximately 45 seeds.
