Eggplant (Black Beauty) Plant

Eggplant plants produce glossy, deep purple fruits perfect for grilling, roasting, or adding to curries and stir-fries. The mild, slightly sweet flavor becomes creamy when cooked. These heat-loving plants thrive in full sun and warm soil, requiring consistent watering and well-draining, nutrient-rich soil. Space plants 18–24 inches apart and fertilize every 2–3 weeks during the growing season. Pinch off early flowers to encourage stronger growth, then allow fruiting to begin. Harvest fruits when they reach full size and have a glossy sheen. With proper care, a single plant produces multiple fruits throughout the season.
