Growing Information

Growing Black Beauty heirloom Eggplant

‘Black Beauty’ is a dependable heirloom eggplant prized for its high yields, rich color, and tender, flavorful flesh. Tall, upright plants typically produce 6 to 8 large fruits with a deep purplish-black skin. For the best texture and flavor, harvest the fruits while they are still on the smaller side and before the seeds become overly developed.

Start ‘Black Beauty’ indoors for transplanting. Space plants 18 to 24 inches apart and grow in full sun. Germination typically takes 7 to 14 days. This heat-tolerant variety performs especially well during warm summer conditions.

Ready to harvest in about 80 days, begin picking the fruits once they develop their mature purplish-black color and reach the desired size. Harvest regularly while the fruits are still firm, glossy, and tender.

Tender, rich, and versatile, ‘Black Beauty’ is excellent for fresh cooking, steaming, frying, stuffing, roasting, and grilling.

Gorgeous eggplants!

I will start these this winter under my grow lights. I love them cubed and roasted in the air fryer. So good 😋. I grow them in my garden bags.
