Grow your own fresh aubergines at home with our Aubergine Plants. A great addition to vegetable gardens, greenhouses and sunny patios, aubergines produce attractive purple fruits that are perfect for curries, Mediterranean dishes, roasting and grilling.
Aubergines love warmth, so choose a sheltered, sunny position and grow in fertile, well-drained compost or soil. They perform particularly well in a greenhouse or polytunnel but can also be grown outdoors in a warm, protected spot. Large patio containers are another good option where garden space is limited.
Keep your Aubergine Plant regularly watered and feed once the fruits begin to develop to encourage a healthy crop.
Rewarding to grow and incredibly versatile in the kitchen, aubergines are a fantastic choice for anyone looking to add something different to their homegrown vegetable harvest.
