Aubergine Seed 'Snowy'

Looking more like eggs than most eggplant fruit (due to its all white colour) this early maturing variety produces a heavy crop of firm textured fruits with an excellent flavour.

The fruits are usually large - up to 7" (17 cm) long - and more of a uniform cylinder shape. A very versatile vegetable that has huge popularity in Asian and Mediterranean cooking.

Eggplants, as they are commonly known, will produce the heaviest crop if grown under protection - but a sunny spot outside, sheltered from cold winds, will similarly produce a very worthwhile crop.

• Sow under protection two seeds per small pot March - April.
• Germinate at a temperature of 64 - 77F (18 - 25C)
• Transplant and grow on in larger pots when large enough to handle.
• For greenhouse or polytunnel growing plant out into either larger pots, growbags or the ground when more established and provide a sturdy support.
• For outdoor growing transplant outside after the risk of frost has passed into a sunny sheltered spot; plant out 36" (90 cm) apart in rows 36" (90 cm) apart and provide a sturdy support.
