Set of 3 or 6 Large Plants - Grow Your Own Aubergine Meatball, Outdoor Garden Ready

A productive collection of premium aubergine plants bred for heavy cropping, excellent fruit quality and reliable performance, perfect for greenhouses, raised beds, patio containers and kitchen gardens.

Aubergines are one of the most rewarding warm-season vegetables to grow, producing abundant harvests of glossy, flavour-rich fruits throughout summer and early autumn. These high-yielding varieties offer a range of fruit shapes and sizes, from classic elongated aubergines to compact container-friendly selections and richly textured globe-shaped fruits. Plants typically grow 50–90 cm tall, depending on variety, forming sturdy, well-branched frameworks that support continuous cropping. Their attractive foliage, ornamental flowers and colourful fruits make them as decorative as they are productive.

Our aubergine plants are professionally grown in high-quality peat-free compost and freshly delivered directly from our UK nursery in Yorkshire, in plastic-free, giftable packaging. Supplied as strong, well-established plants in 10.5 cm pots, they feature healthy root systems, vigorous stems and lush foliage, allowing them to establish quickly and produce abundant crops of tender, flavourful fruits throughout the growing season.
