These seeds should ideally be sown this season. All our packets have ‘Sow by Date’ guidance on them, this is the date the seeds should be sown in order to achieve the highest rate of germination. You will still see the same high-quality plants if sowing in seasons after the ‘Sow by Date’ but may see a reduction in germination rate

Grafted Aubergine Plants 'Long Purple'

Marshalls Garden

Catalogue Code: 10807045

Sale price

Sold out this season - Come back in November

Regular price £7.99

This heritage variety of aubergine has been grown in Europe since the last century, boasting excellent flavour and long-bodied fruit with very dark purple, shiny skin. Suited for growing in greenhouses or a pot on your patio.

Key Features

  • Prefers full sun

Pack Contents: 3 x 7cm Grafted Plants

Description

  • Heritage variety
  • Grown in Europe since the 1900s
  • Excellent flavours from long bodied fruit

Aubergine 'Long Purple' is a popular heritage variety, grown in Europe since the 1900s. It boasts excellent flavours and long bodied fruits with very dark purple, shiny skin. These aubergines are best eaten slightly under ripe. Remove small fruits to leave no more than 6 fruit to develop and mature.

Our grafted Aubergine 'Long Purple' gives you confidence in two ways: grafting on a strong rootstock helps ensure reliability with vigorous growth, larger yields and better disease resistance; and our choice of contrasting varieties for sweetness and taste. Enjoy a good crop of all three from mid-summer until early autumn.

Aubergines are suited to growing in a sheltered spot with plenty of sun, including on a patio in a pot.

How you will receive your plants:

Selected by our team of experts and sent from our nursery, you will receive your plant in a 7cm pot, ready to plant out.

Can’t plant straight away?

Place in a sheltered spot and water regularly to keep the compost moist

Planting tips and hints:

Dig a hole approximately twice as deep and 3 times as wide as the plant’s rootball. If your soil is heavy mix in a soil improver before backfilling. Place the plant in the hole so that it sits at the same level in the ground as it did in the pot. Firm the soil around the plant and water thoroughly. When planting in containers, use a good multi-purpose compost.

Feeding and aftercare: Feed and water regularly.
