Aubergine Black Pearl F1 Grafted Plants
From 14th May 2025.
Product Description
An excellent variety with a strong habit producing healthy yields of large, deep purple, oval-shaped fruits of superb quality - well suited to the UK climate. The fruits are easy to pick and the plants are suitable for growing in containers too. Grow in an unheated poly-tunnel or glasshouse.
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 plants which are strong and vigorous, which in turn, produce more fruits and heavier yields. Although traditionally greenhouse grown, we have found, over the last few years, that plants, if placed in a warm and sunny position, will also crop well outside too – even more reason to grow them!
