Description

This gallant trio of Aubergine 'Green Knight', 'Violet Knight' and 'White Knight', not only looks fantastic in the greenhouse, but also looks great on the plate and offers a rewarding variety of flavours and textures for all your recipes.

The 'Knight' collection bear slender, smooth-skinned fruits in green, white and violet. These Asian type varieties are becomingly increasingly popular amongst both chefs and home growers.

The long, slender fruits are easy to prepare and perfect for both Mediterranean and Asian dishes. This versatile vegetable can be sauteed, grilled, baked or fried and readily soaks up flavours, providing a tasty and satisfying substitute for meat in vegetarian and vegan dishes. 

Early to mature and high-yielding, 'Knight' aubergines form compact, disease-resistant and well-branching plants that are perfect for container-growing in the greenhouse. Harvest the fruits from August to October, whilst they are still shiny and tender.

Height: 1-2m (40-80in). Spread: 1.2-1.5m (47-60in).

Aubergine 'Three Knight Recipe Collection' F1 comprises one plant of each of the following varieties: 

  • Aubergine 'Green Knight' F1 - slender, jade-green fruits which are especially useful as an ingredient in Asian stir fries and curries, with firm flesh and a mild-sweet flavour.
  • Aubergine 'Violet Knight' F1 – an Oriental/Indian type producing an abundance of long, slim fruits with a smooth, glossy violet skin. 
  • Aubergine 'White Knight' F1 - Asian-type variety producing creamy-white fruits about 20cm long with thin skins and firm flesh.

How to Grow
When all risk of frost is passed and the soil is warm, harden off and plant aubergines 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.
More Info
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.

Thompson & Morgan strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3
