Black Beauty Eggplant
Black Beauty grows well in most areas.
The Eggplant Black Beauty, 'Solanum melongena', produces broad, egg-shaped fruit with dark purple skin on 24" to 28" plants.
Eggplant prefers rich, deep, loose soils with large amounts of organic material.
Provide 1 inch of water a week if it does not rain.
If nighttime temperatures drop below 60 degrees, the fruit will not set.
The large spreading plants are capable of producing 6 to 12 fruits on each plant.
Eggplant is a very international vegetable.
