The Classic hybrid F1 Aubergine is a vigorous and productive variety that can be grown in the vegetable garden or in containers. It produces very large, elongated, and plump fruits with a shiny, very dark purple skin. With a very good taste, its flesh is firm and has an excellent flavour. You can plant it in April-May and harvest from July to October.

The Aubergine, in Latin Solanum melongena, belongs to the Solanaceae family, like tomatoes, bell peppers, and potatoes. This tender plant, which is perennial in warm countries, is grown as an annual in European climates. It has ovate, hairy, and prickly leaves and produces small purple flowers from June to September. Depending on the varieties, Aubergines can be round or long and come in different colours: from black-purple to white, and even yellow, sometimes in a solid colour and sometimes striped... a beautiful diversity to discover!
In the vegetable garden, this sun-loving vegetable needs warmth to grow. It will benefit from the presence of flowers to attract insects and promote pollination.
In the kitchen: Aubergines are widely used in Mediterranean cuisine and are typically cooked: fried, baked, in ratatouille, stuffed, slowly simmered, mashed in olive oil, or in a Parmesan dish with a Mornay sauce. They reveal their full flavour when combined with garlic, Provencal herbs, tomatoes, and bell peppers.
Harvest: Pick the fruits using snips from August to October (or from July for early varieties). The fruits should be harvested slightly before ripening.
Storage: Eggplants should be consumed quickly and can be kept for a few days in the lower part of the refrigerator.
Gardener's tip: We recommend mulching the soil with thin successive layers of grass clippings, if possible mixed with dead leaves. This protection, which helps keep the soil moist, also limits weed growth. You can also opt for a mineral mulch (bricks, slate...) which will help accumulate heat.

Purple Comet is the eggplant you've been dreaming of. This Asian variety has far fewer seeds than the traditional teardrop-shaped types. Its brilliant neon-violet skin is quite thin and tender. The flesh is pure white, succulent, and absolutely delicious. Even the extra-large foliage and bright purple blooms are attractive. You can pick Purple Comet young, if you need to, without sacrificing one jot of flavor.
Fewer seeds means less bitterness, and Purple Comet is entirely bitter-free. No soaking, no salting, no puckering at the flavor. These long, slender fruits are packed with white flesh, sweet and meaty. About 10 inches long and 2 inches wide at full maturity, these eggplants are substantial, and the thinner, more delicate skin means less waste and more useable "meat".
Purple Comet can also picked young, as a gourmet baby veggie, without loss of flavor or texture. This means that you can stagger your harvest, picking just what you need without having to worry about bringing in the whole crop at once.
You will love the look of this plant, even before the handsome fruit sets. The foliage is large and tropical-looking, while the blooms are a rich shade of purple and quite large. Then when the ultra-bright eggplants begin growing longer and longer, it's just the icing on the cake.
Begin seeds indoors 8 to 10 weeks before planning to set out. Eggplant is a warm-weather crop, so wait until after danger of frost before transplanting seedlings into the sunny garden or patio container.
