• Compact Habit: Features a tidy, manageable growth habit that is ideal for 2-litre pots, troughs, or containers on a sunny patio.
• Fruit Quality: Develops glossy, deep purple fruits that are perfect for smaller portions, roasting whole, or authentic Mediterranean side dishes.
• Nutritional Value: A rewarding homegrown crop that serves as a good source of dietary fibre.
• Ideal for Small Spaces: Perfect for gardeners with limited space who still want a reliable and heavy harvest of fresh vegetables.

Care Instructions:

• Sowing: Sow seeds indoors from February to May in a propagator or on a warm windowsill to provide the heat required for germination.
• Potting On: Transplant seedlings into individual pots once they are large enough to handle, ensuring they are kept in frost-free conditions.
• Hardening Off: Gradually accustom the plants to outdoor conditions before placing them in their final sunny, sheltered position in June.
• Watering: Maintain regular and consistent watering to ensure the compost does not dry out, which is vital for fruit development in containers.
• Feeding: Apply a high-potash liquid feed every two weeks once the first tiny fruits begin to appear to maximise your yield.
