Egg Plant-Black Beauty Italian

Solanum melongena

It is a gorgeous purple-black fruit that can be easily grown at home for freshest flavor. This plant belongs to Australia, New Zealand, U.K, South Asia, Malaysia and South Africa, but grows great throughout the US. Along with tomatoes, potatoes, and peppers, eggplant belongs to the Solanaceae family of plants. They are a great source of minerals and vitamins such as folic acids, fibers, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, copper, niacin, thiamine, vitamin C, B-6, K and more. Here in Central Florida, these Eggplants do best when the weather is comfortable outside.They are a bit of a Goldielocks plant.

  • “All items arrived quickly and well packaged. I usually expect to have one or two live items out of a batch, but they are all thriving. I couldn’t be happier!”

  • “My live plants were packed like they belonged in Ft Knox. 😂 They really were packed beautifully. Only one plant, a bee balm, is questionable but signs that it will recover are happening. All in all I am thrilled with my plants and seeds. Some of my coreopsis have already sprouted!”

  • “I’ve ordered seeds from Whitwam Organics 3 or 4 times now. I love the simple packaging, clear planting guidelines, and variety they offer. Great germination rates!! The bare root plants I’ve ordered have come healthy, so healthy that the wild rabbits always approve of my menu upgrades! 😂🐰”
