An extremely popular variety, the French-bred Aubergine ‘Bonica’ is well loved for its flavoursome, oval shaped fruits with glossy purple. The fruits ripen early and continue cropping heavily throughout summer. Ideal for growing in the greenhouse, or perhaps try supporting them with stakes or canes in patio containers.Aubergines grow best at temperatures of 25-30C (77-86F) with high humidity levels. Stake aubergine plants as they increase in size and pinch out the main growing tip to encourage a bushy habit. Water regularly to prevent buds from dropping. Once the first flowers have set, feed aubergines every 2 weeks with a high potash tomato feed. Restricting the crop to 5 or 6 per plant will produce the largest fruits. Harvest aubergines by cutting them close to the stem from August onwards, when the fruit appears fully coloured and shiny. Harvest regularly to promote further flowers and to extend the picking season.Product Specifications: . Position: Full sun. Height: Up to
