Solanum melongena is a cold-sensitive member of the Solanaceae, usually treated as an annual.
Botanical characteristics
Its violet, star-shaped flowers develop into fleshy berries. Cultivated aubergines vary in fruit shape and skin colour, including pale as well as purple forms. Warmth supports growth; the familiar dark oval fruit is only one part of the range.
Fruit shapes and named selections
The reseller list includes Aubergine Black Beauty, White Egg and Patio Baby F1. These references span named colour, form and hybrid labels. They offer a more precise way to organise a bulk range than a single “purple aubergine” heading.
