Additional Details

When to Sow Genie Aubergine Seeds

January to April. Germination typically takes 14- 21 days

Plant Out

May to June

Harvest

July to October, usually around 5 months after sowing.

Where to Sow

Space the seeds 2cm (¾") apart in seed trays or two to a cell in modules under glass at 20°C. Cover seeds lightly with vermiculite or finely sieved compost.                                                 

What to do next

As soon as two full leaves have developed, prick off seedlings into individual pots. Grow on and plant into grow-bags or large pots. Plants can be grown in containers outside in a sunny sheltered spot. Feed plants as soon as first fruits set, once a week with a high potash tomato food.

Handy Tip

Move patio plants into a cool conservatory as autumn approaches so the last fruits of the season have time to mature fully. The leaves may need to be gently trimmed to expose the flowers.
