Aubergine
Patio Baby
Patio Baby is a compact, container-friendly aubergine producing clusters of small, deep-purple fruits on a bushy plant. It is one of the better varieties for UK home growers without a large greenhouse, performing well in large pots on a sunny patio or in a cold frame. The small fruits are tender with few seeds.
