Grafted Aubergine Black Pearl F1 Vegetable Plants

Grafted Aubergine Black Pearl F1 Vegetable Plants are a high-quality variety with a strong habit, producing healthy yields of large, deep purple, oval-shaped fruits. Well suited to the UK climate, the fruits are easy to pick and the plants are also ideal for container growing. Perfect for unheated poly-tunnels or glasshouses.

Grafted vegetable plants offer us gardeners’ plants which have greater vigour and much more resistance to soil borne pests and diseases, such as nematodes – particularly useful if you grow in the greenhouse border soil each year, where crop rotation is somewhat limited! The grafting process brings together the best attributes of two different plants – a species rootstock and a hybrid variety.

The hybrid variety is grafted to the species rootstock to produce strong, vigorous plants that in turn produce more fruits and heavier yields. Although traditionally grown in greenhouses, these plants will also crop well outdoors in a warm and sunny position, providing even more reason to grow them.

Supplied as well-established plants in 9cm pots. Please note – do not remove the plastic grafting clip. It will fall off naturally as the plant grows.
