Dramatic foliage and colorful fruits (white, green and other colors in addition to the usual deep purple) make this heat-loving annual a good choice for ornamental beds as well as vegetable gardens.
A large bushy plant with attractive purple flowers. Has spiky stems. Wear gloves to harvest fruit as the spikes on the calyx are sharp enough to break one’s skin.
Nutritional Value:
A host of vitamins and minerals, eggplant also contains important phytonutrients, many which have antioxidant activity. Phytonutrients contained in eggplant include phenolic compounds, such caffeic and chlorogenic acid, and flavonoids, such asnasunin.
Features:
Harvest in 90-110 days
Grow in seed trays, and plant out in 4-6 weeks. Sow seed at a depth approximately three times the diameter of the seed.
Best planted at soil temperatures between 24°C and 32°C.
Space plants: 60-75cm
Planting/Growing Tips:
Plant seeds 1/4″ deep in small containers. Transplant when seedlings reach approx. 4-6″. Eggplants love and thrive in hot weather, and prefer a rich, composted soil.
Maintenance and care:
Eggplants are heavy feeders, but avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers. They may encourage lush foliage growth at the expense of fruit.
Pinch off blossoms 2 to 4 weeks before first expected frost so that plants channel energy into ripening existing fruit, not producing new ones.
To help reduce disease, do not plant eggplants or other tomato-family crops in the same location more than once every three or four years.
