Solanum melongena ‘Mini Lebanese’ (Mini Lebanese Eggplant)

Solanum melongena 'Mini Lebanese' (Mini Lebanese Eggplant) is a compact, productive vegetable variety that produces clusters of slender, finger-shaped dark purple fruits. The tender fruits can reach around 8 cm long and have a mild, slightly sweet flavour with a silky texture, making them excellent for grilling, roasting, stir-fries and Mediterranean or Middle Eastern dishes. Its compact habit makes it particularly well suited to small gardens and containers.

Easy to grow in a warm, sunny position, Solanum melongena 'Mini Lebanese' prefers fertile, well-drained soil and regular watering throughout the growing season. It is frost sensitive and benefits from regular feeding once fruit begins to develop. With its compact growth and high yield, this variety is a practical choice for productive home vegetable gardens, raised beds and patio containers.
