Introduced in 1910, Aubergine ‘Black Beauty’ is a classic variety, producing beautifully glossy, deep purple fruits (up to 12cm long) with a rich flavour. A reliable and rewarding plant, it crops steadily through the summer when grown in a warm, sunny spot.
Its compact, bushy habit makes it ideal for patio containers, grow bags or sheltered borders, where it will thrive with regular watering and feeding. The fruits are perfect for roasting, grilling and a wide range of summer dishes.
Both productive and attractive, this easy-to-grow variety is a great choice for gardeners looking to enjoy home-grown aubergines straight from the plant.
