Jackpot F1 Aubergine seeds yield glossy, dark purple fruits with exceptional flavour. Known for their early development, these aubergines can be harvested when small, as a true baby vegetable, typically weighing around 80 grams.
The spineless plants produce an abundant crop over an extended period. Their compact size makes them ideal for growing in pots on patios or in greenhouses. For best results, plants may require support with string or canes.
