An excellent choice for home gardens and specialty market growers. An heirloom variety from Udmalbet, Tamil Nadu, India.

Eggplant Planting Information:

Eggplants do best in well-drained soil enhanced with compost and manure. They thrive in high temperature and high humidity areas. Plant your seeds indoors, 6 to 8 weeks before setting them outside. When seedlings are 4" to 6" tall, transplant them into larger pots so roots can grow properly. Grow transplants at 50°F to 70°F. Spring planting should occur 2 weeks after the last frost. Protect the plants from frost and wind. Plants will not set fruit when nighttime temperatures fall below 65°F. Plants can grow 3 ft tall.

Soil Requirements:

Requires fertile, slightly acidic soil in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant.

Water Requirements:

Water well during dry and hot spells.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle Gro Liquid Fertilizer every two weeks. Side dress plants with compost and manure.

Harvest Tips:

Cut fruit from plants with garden scissors so you don't damage the plant when they are fully mature and reach full color.
