Experience the joy of harvesting your own Black Beauty Eggplants with this easy-to-grow, high-yielding heirloom variety seed. Known for its glossy dark purple fruits and exceptional flavor, this open-pollinated eggplant is a favorite among gardeners and chefs alike. Perfect for grilling, roasting, or making classic dishes like eggplant parmesan, these seeds will transform your garden into a gourmet paradise.
Black Beauty Eggplants ripen earlier than most varieties, giving you a head start on the growing season. Each plant produces an abundance of perfectly shaped, 4-5" long fruits with a mild, absorbent flesh that’s ideal for spicy dishes. The deep purple hue and glossy skin make these eggplants as beautiful as they are delicious, adding visual appeal to your garden or container plantings.
Start your Black Beauty Eggplant Seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost. Plant seeds 1/2" deep in pots with growing mix, keeping them in a warm (70-85°F), bright location. Transplant seedlings 3' apart in full sun after the soil has warmed. These 2-3' tall plants benefit from staking or cages for support. Water deeply to maintain moist (not soggy) soil, and mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
Harvest your eggplants when their glossy skin is deep purple and before it begins to fade - typically around 80 days. Even smaller fruits are delicious, as waiting too long can result in bitterness. Packed with vitamins C, K, B6, and essential minerals, these nutrient-rich eggplants are as healthy as they are flavorful.
Each packet contains 30 seeds - enough to plant a 10' row. Non-GMO, open-pollinated, and heirloom quality. Start your Black Beauty Eggplant Seeds today and enjoy garden-fresh flavor all season long!
I had these planted in some large containers, they did well and looked quite elegant. I love the purple blooms and the pretty plans. The eggplants were a nice smaller size, and they were delicious made into eggplant parmesan!

Germination for nearly all of my varieties was 3-5 days (95% - 100% success rate). My varieties include: Red Ghost, Carolina Reaper, Trinidad Scorpion, Devils Tongue, Cayenne Ring of Fire, Habenero Red, Yellow Jamaican, Paprika Numex, and Bolivian Rainbow. Another thing that I really appreciated is that each packet seemed to contain 20% more seeds than indicated (each 10 seed pack contained 12 seeds) - Not sure if that is standard but it was a nice bonus.
One of the best cherry tomatoes you'll ever eat!
I've found that when you combine roasted carrots, habaneros, lime juice and garlic, it will make the best hot sauce of your life. I think it's the sweetness and depth of the carrots that make the sauce even better, and pairs perfectly with the habanero heat. I got the inspiration from one of my favorite store-bought hot sauces, Marie Sharp's Habanero hot sauce. Sometimes I add some of your Chef's orange tomatoes too to make more of it, and they also give more flavor to the hot sauce and help tame the heat a bit. I grow these in my garden every year along with your orange habaneros, orange tomatoes and other hot peppers and veggies. Very reliable.
These fabulous peppers added lots of color to our patio pots. So pretty in multiple colors, plus you can pick them and add to salsa for a nice spicy kick. These are fun in any ornamental edible garden.
We let these hang dry, then ground them up – they made the tastiest pepper flakes. They have a nice kick, but good flavor too. Easy to grow plants, pretty peppers.
Great seeds, good germination, plants grow quickly and produce lots of pods for roasting. Great flavor and just the right amount of spice. We grow these every year in our garden in Utah.
These are so beautiful, tasty, and meaty. They make a great pico-de-gallo!
These were so big, one tomato can make a nice big bowl of salsa. They do have amazing flavor and color.
These were so tasty and very productive. Great for salsa.
I tried these purple Cherokee seeds on 2024. This is the first time growing these purple Cherokees and were amazed at the ease of germination and taste
These germinated in two days. I started them in midsummer and they fruited by late fall in my zone 10b garden and are overwintering just fine. I’ll have more to harvest by late spring. I made my red sauce for pozole for Christmas with my harvest!
Big Chiles with just enough heat to add to green enchilada's. The flavor after roasting is fantastic. Since green chile roasting is not a local thing in Eastern Washington we us a weed burner. The smell of roasting peppers is heavenly.
My favorite green chili to grow. Plenty of heat and after roasting sit perfectly on a hamburger. Also my wonderful wife makes Puelo Chili jam that is a real crowd pleaser
I was looking for a spicier New Mexico red chile and this was awesome! It is a beautiful looking pepper and the taste is superb.
Very productive plants even up here in New England!
