Black Beauty is a classic heirloom eggplant that has remained a favourite for generations. The bushy, spreading plants grow to around 80 cm tall and produce smooth, oval fruits up to 16 cm long with glossy purplish-black skin and tender, fine-flavoured flesh. Well suited to a wide range of Australian climates, including cooler southern regions, this reliable variety matures in approximately 72–85 days and is ideal for roasting, grilling, baking, and curries.
Approximately 60 seeds per packet

FLOWER SEEDS WITH EDEN
Flower seeds: As fellow gardening enthusiasts we share the love for planting and nurturing our own flowers in addition to our veggie gardens. Our carefully selected range of flower seeds, available for convenient online purchase, holds a special place in our hearts. Like the endangered vegetables we've championed, these flower varieties face the risk of vanishing forever. Some of these older strains are incredibly rare, and it's a source of immense pride for us to offer and deliver these precious flower seeds Australia-wide.
