Aubergine violetta seeds

Sowing

Perennial: grown as an annual in the UK: sow seeds in moisture-retentive seed compost about 9-10 weeks before setting-out date, starting in warm conditions indoors.

The plants need warmth to do well, so grow in a greenhouse in cooler climes; in warmer climates they can be grown on outdoors. Space seedlings at 40cm intervals. When flowers start mist daily.
