Aubergine 'Graffiti' (Grafted) is a striking and delicious variety that combines beauty with exceptional flavour. The glossy purple and white ‘zebra stripes’ on the fruit make it as visually appealing as it is tasty. The generous-sized fruits, weighing up to 400g and measuring 15-20cm in length, are virtually spineless, making them easy to handle during both growing and harvesting.
Unlike some other varieties, 'Graffiti' aubergines retain their firmness even after harvesting, allowing you to enjoy their exquisite flavour at your convenience. The sweet, white flesh is dense and versatile, ideal for grilling, roasting, or pan-frying. It absorbs flavours beautifully, making it an excellent meat alternative in vegetarian dishes. Whether you are a novice or experienced grower, this variety is a great addition to your garden, offering both aesthetic appeal and culinary delight. Height: 75cm (30in). Spread: 60cm (24in). Stunning stripy fruits, virtually spineless with dense flesh that retains its firmness after harvesting. Pot up plants and grow them on in warm, frost free conditions until plants are well grown and all risk of frost has passed. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days before planting out in their final positions. For indoor cultivation, pot on into larger containers or plant 2 aubergines per growbag. Outdoors, plant aubergines in rich fertile soil at a distance of 90cm (3’) apart, in rows spaced 90-120cm (3-4’) apart. Grow aubergines in a sheltered position in full sun. Planting through black plastic mulch will help to warm the soil, control weeds and save moisture.
