We have been growing these guys here in the highlands for several years now and have never failed to get a good crop. Well adapted to cooler/shorter summers, these compact and robust plants are early and prolific, producing lots of tasty dark purple fruits.

Originally from Ukraine, this variety was brought to the United States in 1993 by Seed Savers Exchange co-founder Kent Whealy.

Growing Info

Aubergines will do best when grown undercover in Scotland. Sow indoors into small pots or seed flats using a heated propagator or sunny windowsill in Feb/March, no later than April. Aubergines generally grow slightly slower than Tomatoes so should be sown slightly earlier if possible. Transplant into larger pots once true leaves emerge. Aim to transplant into final growing location after the last frost, ideally once night-time temperatures are up to around 10 °C.

What our customers say

Your seeds are just great! Always excellent germination rates. This is the second year we have had your Robinson peas which are really lovely and grow so well.

Lisa, Bridge of Allan

I thought you should know that your seeds have been wonderful. In an otherwise rubbish growing season, everything I bought from you has thrived. I’ve been eating purple mangetout and Carter’s Polish beans for weeks now and they’re still going strong.

Laura, North Kessock

Desert Spirit Landrace did exceptionally well in my polycrub here in the Western Isles - I even won the pumpkin growing competition that we put up for local growers and allotment holders.

Susanne, Isle of Lewis

I want to thank you for my Garden of Abundance. I’m a new gardener to Scotland and your seeds have given me such joy. I can hardly keep up with eating the rocket and I’ve planted my 2nd set of lettuce already.

Gay, Moray

My Black Isle broad beans are germinating after four days. How is that possible? ! Fab seed!

Janey, Highlands

I wanted to pass on the great success all of the seeds I bought from you have been.
Greatest success was ripe tomatoes (Scotland Yellow) on 7th of July - in Orkney!! Over two weeks later and none of my other varieties are even close to ripe.

Jenna, Orkney
