Black Beauty Eggplant (Solanum melongena) is a classic heirloom variety prized for its glossy, deep purple-black fruits and rich, savory flavor. These robust plants produce high yields of large, oval-shaped eggplants that can grow up to 6–8 inches long. The tender, creamy flesh is perfect for grilling, roasting, frying, or baking, making it a favorite in Mediterranean, Asian, and vegetarian dishes. Known for its reliable production and stunning appearance, Black Beauty is a staple in home gardens and market stalls alike.

Growing Instructions

Start Black Beauty Eggplant seeds indoors 4–10 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix and keep at 75–85°F for optimal germination. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the soil has warmed and night temperatures stay above 55°F. Space plants 18–24 inches apart, providing sturdy stakes or cages for support. Eggplants thrive in full sun with consistent watering. Mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest when fruits reach 6–8 inches in length and have a glossy, dark skin. Overripe fruits may become bitter, so pick promptly.
