Description

The Hybrid Black Stallion is a classic black Italian-type eggplant renowned for its exceptional garden performance. This vigorous variety delivers abundant yields early in the season and continues to produce well into cooler temperatures, making it a reliable choice for extended harvesting. Each uniform fruit measures 8-9″ long by 4-5″ wide and boasts a rich, purple-black color with a stunning, high-gloss finish that resists fading over time. The fruits are virtually blemish-free and have a creamy white interior with very few seeds, providing a tender texture perfect for grilling, roasting, or any of your favorite eggplant recipes.

The plants themselves are upright and well-branched, offering superior foliage cover to prevent sunscald, ensuring healthy fruits even during hot summer days. With a relatively short maturity time of just 60-65 days from transplant, the Hybrid Black Stallion is perfect for gardeners looking for early and consistent harvests. Whether you’re growing in a home garden or for market, this variety is a top choice for both flavor and performance.

Growing Information

Eggplant is in the nightshade family along with tomatoes and peppers. Plants in the nightshade family are susceptible to blossom end rot, which is a result of a calcium deficiency. To prevent or alleviate this problem, apply pelleted gypsum at the base of the plant at bloom set. Eggplant does best when transplanted, as the germination time can be longer than most vegetable seed. Eggplant grow very well in our heavy-duty seed starting trays. Plants should be started 4-6 weeks before the intended outdoor planting date.

If conditions outside are favorable, transplants may be planted directly from our 162 cell trays. If conditions are still too cold for planting eggplant, transplants may be "stepped-up" to 4" pots to provide more room to grow. Eggplants produce heavy fruits and will require some form of support to keep the plant upright. We recommend using the Florida Weave trellising technique that involves using stakes and twine along the row. This ensures that plants and fruits stay off the ground, reducing the possibility of disease and keeping fruits clean.
